Grief in Our Seasons: A Mourner's Kaddish Companion
Autor Kerry M. Olitzkyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 1998
Jewish tradition encourages study as a way of honoring the memory of those who are no longer among us. Grief in Our Seasons offers a comforting link between study and the tradition of saying Kaddish, helping those who are mourning to heal at their own pace and to cherish the memory of their loved ones each and every day.
Each section of Grief in Our Seasons is devoted to a stage of mourning, providing daily readings from sacred Jewish texts and words of inspiration, comfort and understanding. "Meditations Before Saying Kaddish" share the insights of others who have faced the challenges of mourning, and tell how they found solace during the process.
