Jewish burial arises from a comprehensive framework of Torah law, philosophy, and spiritual sensitivity. Far from being an outdated custom, it represents a consistent, principled approach articulated in Tanach, developed in the Talmud, codified in halakha, and illuminated in later works such as Kabbalah and Chassidut.” • Read More
