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.
“I found a pair of dress shoes I had long forgotten / caked with mud / hidden away in the back of my closet”
“Our roads and streets remain far too dangerous for walkers, bikers and drivers alike.”
