How do Jewish Funerals Typically Work?
Jewish funerals typically adhere to specific traditions and customs deeply rooted in Jewish heritage and religious teachings. The process often begins with the immediate family members performing Kriah, a symbolic tearing of clothing, to express their grief and mourning. Following this, the deceased is placed in a simple wooden casket and buried under Jewish law, usually within 24 to 48 hours after death, whenever possible. The funeral service, known as the Levayah, may include prayers, readings from the Torah, eulogies, and Psalm recitation, emphasizing respect for the deceased and comforting the mourners. After the burial is finished, family and friends gather for a meal of consolation called the Seudat Havra'ah, offering support and condolences to the bereaved. Throughout the process, the focus remains on honoring the deceased, comforting the mourners, and upholding Jewish traditions surrounding death and mourning.
