Tonight I went over to Bill, Debra and Cora’s \u00a0for a shiva service for their son Alan. . It’s customary when a close relative dies for a Jewish family to gather for 7 days of mourning. People come to visit bring food and have prayer services. Tonight there were about 30 folks in their home. We had a short service then all read Kaddish.. the Jewish prayer of mourning..<\/p>\n

In Bill and Debras the mirrors were all covered in newspaper. .. its one of the customs of Shiva.. other customs includee tearing a garment and wearing\u00a0\u00a0a black ribbon .. \/ \u00a0It was comforting to all be together..<\/p>\n

Bill, Debra and Cora.. are bearing up well and have lots of love arid them, .. my heart aches for them.. i know how both how welcome and hard it is to have to cry with new people every night.. \u00a0..<\/p>\n
