From This World to the Next: A Handbook for Mourners

From This World to the Next is a comprehensive guide to Jewish mourning unlike any other. Translated from his widely used Hebrew volume, this work guides mourners, their families, and community members throughout the entire process, from making arrangements with the burial society or funeral home, to the halakhot and instructions of mourning for the entire year, to practical suggestions and insights for supporting the bereaved and instructions for subsequent yahrtzeit services. Rabbi Goldman also addresses sensitive and controversial topics such as suicide, organ donation, wills, inheritance, estate planning, and exhuming a grave.
