EMBALMING Jewish tradition frowns on embalming. If civil laws require embalming, these laws supersede the laws and regulations of the synagogue.

SHIVAH - Seven days of mourning following burial. The day of the funeral is the first day and one hour of the seventh day counts as a full day. The shivah period begins after the interment with a simple meal, seudat hava-ah, the meal of consolation. There is a custom to rinse one?s hands with water before entering the house for a meal. Family and friends of the mourners traditionally prove this, and it is not meant to serve as a social function following the funeral. Only family and closest of friend should attend since it is a time to rest and contemplate the day?s events. A party-like atmosphere should not be allowed to develop. The menu for this meal traditionally includes hard-boiled eggs, a symbol of life, and round food, such as lentils that symbolize the turning of the wheel of life, with its ups and downs. Neither meat nor wine, two symbols of joy, should be served at this meal. SHOLOSHIM - a thirty (30) day mourning period of the Jewish faith. This is the second stage of mour

What do the Jews use the back of a shovel to feel in the grave? (instead of the "scoop" part)

The Rabbi reluctantly shovels earth onto the casket and then lays the shovel down to be picked up by members of the family who also shovel dirt onto the casket until the casket is covered. They use the back of the shovel instead of the ?scoop? part to indicate a reluntance to perform this ritual. Shoveling the earth is an action of finality and closure.
