“This very accessible volume makes a large and much-needed contribution to the Jewish community. It re-introduces to the modern reader many of the elements of Jewish traditional practice around death and mourning that have proven – over centuries – to provide great wisdom, insight and comfort to the bereaved. Today, when people are searching deeply for meaning in their lives and some shiva homes can more resemble cocktail parties than houses of mourning, this very clear “how to” manual for making a shiva call has never been more timely and needed. It is a useful and sensitive book for mourner and comforter, alike. I hope every synagogue office and Rabbi’s study everywhere is stocked with multiple copies for distribution to those in need of its guidance.” - Jacob Solomon, President and CEO, Greater Miami Jewish Federation
