Description

Funeral Rites in Judaism

Funeral rites in Judaism include the lighting of a candle, preparation of the body, burial practices, and the recitation of Kaddish. The mourning process involves three stages, with shiva being the first seven days of mourning, and rituals are observed on the anniversary of the death. The Chevra Kaddisha plays a vital role in these practices.
