Maggiori informazioni sul libro

"The personal stories in this book are an introduction to an inter-world space, the boundary where death and life meet: the "space between worlds" that we encounter when we deal with the dead. We enter into it guided by these writers through a series of extraordinary processes in which the physical actions, the prayers, and the kavanah involved in Jewish death rituals open a window to give us a glimpse of this unique boundary. We can feel the experience of helping souls move from this world to the next through personal accounts as the book explores the practices and rituals of the Jewish tradition in preparing the dead for burial. It is an invitation to touch the fine line separating realms of existence"--Back cover.
