Eternal Peace

Her mother passed away two months ago, the father a year before, and today she is. My parents speaking about the tragedy, calling others to inform;It is somehow the leftovers of the communal sense.

“Amir, do you know who passed away today? The daughter of Tzipora (bird). I know how close you were with each other. She asked about you many times during her mother’s mourning days (שבעה)”.

They are ultra-Orthodox, which means those-who-worship-God-in-every-step-of-life… and this bond we had between two different communities is a rare sight. This is how Israeli society has been arranged.

Now they are preparing themselves for the funeral. The Holy-Man (Rabbi) would prepare the body of the deceased for a hole in the ground. Would ask in behalf of the participants for forgiveness. 4 man would take her for eternal peace (למנוחת עולמים). And I would be here with the keyboard also because of the COVID-19 spread.
