Reflections on my great grandmother
A fine tribute to a wonderful woman, thank you.
Her נשמה should have an עליה.
Huh?
It’s a thing some say in Judaism about those who have passed. It means that their neshama (soul) should have an aliyah (go up (to heaven/ a higher spiritual realm)). Despite not being religious, I think it’s a nice gesture.
???
Do we make people like her anymore? If not, we are losing a lot, and recovering as much of that as possible shall be a cultural priority.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted
