Abstract

Though much has been written about Jewish mourning rituals, no one has yet developed an organized, conscious program of grief therapy based on these practices. This project is an attempt to create such a program using Jewish tradition and synagogue programs and institutions. The paper presents the effects and stages of the mourning process and relates them to traditional Jewish mourning ritual. How the ritual actually aids grief work is then attested to through true life examples in Congregation Rodphey Shalom in Holyoke, Massachusetts. The paper also presents suggestions to the clergy on grief counseling as part of a program of grief therapy in the context of Jewish ritual.
