Today we honor those who've tragically lost their lives to hate and violence, expressing our heartfelt solidarity with a centuries-old Jewish ritual of comfort, Kaddish. This episode is a tribute to the resilience and fortitude of the Jewish community worldwide and a profound reflection on our collective yearning for peace.  Join us on this journey of healing, fueled by faith, prayer, and a mutual desire for reconciliation.

"Saying Kaddish: How to Comfort the Dying, Bury the Dead, and Mourn as a Jew "

Beloved New York Times bestselling author and award-winning journalist--Anita Diamant—the definitive guide to Judaism’s end-of-life rituals, revised and updated for Jews of all backgrounds and beliefs.
From caring for the dying to honoring the dead, Anita Diamant explains the Jewish practices that make mourning a loved one an opportunity to experience the full range of emotions—grief, anger, fear, guilt, relief—and take comfort in the idea that the memory of the deceased is bound up in our lives and actions.
