QUESTION: What is the origin of the seven-daY
ing period?
ANSWER: The Jersualem Talmud (E<etubot Chap. u
claims that Moses instituted the custom of the Sevenday
mourning period which is observed after the burial An
earlier passage in the Bible relates that Joseph observed
sevenay mourning period for his father Jacob Genesis SOY
Another Tamudic indicates that sevenday period
instituted after the death of Mehusaleh Still another
quotes curious in the Book of Amos Chap 81 where's
the Bible speaks of turning the days of the feast into the days
of mourning and the Tamud Moed Katan 20 nfers that
since the days of Feast seven likewise the days Of
mourning
The reasoning for the days Of mourning varied
Generally it is symbolic of respect for the deceased ASo
it affords the community opportunity to offer aid and con-
ISOLATION to the bereaved In addition it affords the
opportunity for readusng their outlook upon life The
fact that takes in complete unit of timea WEEKS in
dcave of feeling of eternity Just the day of the week
returns shall the spirit of the deceased return
QUESTION: Why excused after the
third day?
ANSWER Rabbinc law makes provision that in
where the mOurners livelihood is in actual jeopardy three
day period sufficient The first three days the days set
aside for weeping according the Tamudc Thus in
extreme of hardship the mourning period after
the third day Rabbi should be consulted before ending the
period sooner than the regular seven days.
QUESTION: For which relatives must the seven-daY
mourning period be observed?
ANSWER For the death of mother father son. daugh-
wife, brother sister husband These considered the
closest relatives.
