Learning together in Yeshiva in Jerusalem, we (Dovid and Stefan) became good friends.

With Hashem’s help, and with the assistance of very learned rabbis, we were able to compile a website to further disseminate the laws and customs of Jewish Mourning.

Many people hear stories regarding loved ones who did not receive a proper burial, and were not mourned in accordance with the laws of our holy Torah. It is saddening, but unfortunately, not uncommon.

Our hope is that the Jewish public will have a heightened awareness regarding the laws of

Jewish mourning, and will have the tools to properly honor their loved ones.

Stefan currently resides in the NY/NJ area with his family, while Dovid currently resides in Jerusalem with his family.
