I was impressed with her courage and love which all reciprocated. An awful lot of us had her on their prayer lists.

I prefer them to the American ones, especially the Shiloh ones. We can't bring people back to life, so at least the funeral should bring some comfort/control to the mourning family.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-64143473315736274192010-10-31T18:57:56.586+02:002010-10-31T18:57:56.586+02:00I have only been to one other funeral in Israel. ...I have only been to one other funeral in Israel. It was for a Sephardi soldier. It was at the grave -- and his family made everyone there feel as if we were sharing that private conversation. It was amazing to be permitted to be part of it.

A...so true, we get comfort, but she's the focus<br />At Shiloh funerals you really hear that the maspidim are addressing the dead. Sometimes it's like we're overhearing private conversations. Moshe started getting into that. Shiloh funerals generally have the hespedim at the grave; it's different.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402874037427009327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-73685586787579338142010-10-31T18:17:56.101+02:002010-10-31T18:17:56.101+02:00Yes, that may be...

And there was comfort for those of us who mourn in knowing that she was beloved by so many. I hope that what she saw and heard there comforted her neshama.<br /><br />And we'll STILL get together -- with RivkA's smile in mind.rutimizrachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809119908148195009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-58644728843667593272010-10-31T18:10:12.019+02:002010-10-31T18:10:12.019+02:00Ruti, the funeral was for RivkA.
