Jewish Funeral Question?

A friends mother has passed. They are burying her tomorrow. Not sure what I should bring/do. I'm going to the cemetary but, I don't think she is sitting shivah. Any suggestions would be great.

Re: Jewish Funeral Question?

if they are not sitting shiva, a sympathy card would be appropriate.

Maybe even a short visit..it's hard to be alone.


If you do go, bring some food.

You could bring bagles, cream cheese and lox, or nuts and dried fruit. Sorry for her loss.

If you are bringing food or having it sent, I would make sure it is kosher. You never know if the people hosting the shivah keep a kosher home or not.

This link will tell you the Hebrew and English translation of the Jewish mourner's prayer. It will help you understand what they are saying.
