Traditional Jewish mourning and bereavement practices are designed to help us bear our grief. But sometimes we need something more: a poem that captures our imagination, a creative ritual that addresses the particularity of our grief, a song that speaks to our heart. May you find a measure of comfort in your time of need.
A ceremony following or in lieu of Mincha (afternoon service)
An article describing the custom of planting a tree in memory of a loved one
