Launch of New Website Announced by The Society for Mishnah Study JewishdeathandMourning.org provides Torah Study for Departed Loved Ones
JewishDeathandmourning.org is a new non profit website for Jews to learn about the religious practise of hiring Torah scholars to recite kaddish and yizkor prayers or study Mishanah on behalf of departed loved one. Prayers and Torah study is a 3000 year old custom to provide merit to the soul of departed loved ones.
Lakewood, NJ, June 29, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Society for Mishnah Study, a non-profit organization that works with Torah scholars nationwide to help Jews provide merit to their loved ones through prayer and Torah study announced it has released a new website for Jews nationwide. Rabbi Moshe Haikins, founder and president of The Society for Mishnah Study said, “We are very pleased about offering Torah study and prayer services for Jews everywhere regardless of their background or affiliation – especially in advance of Rosh Hashanah,” said Rabbi Haikins. “Most of our clients turn to us to say Kaddish, learn Mishnah, or say Yizkor prayers when a loved one passes away”.
Families have peace of mind knowing the spiritual needs of loved ones or oneself have been prearranged and made known to the family by including instructions in the last will and testament. With pre-planning, nobody worries that the needs of the soul will be neglected.
The new website; www.JewishDeathAndMourning.org explains the Jewish concept of what can be done to comfort the soul including Kaddish, Mishnah Study and Yizkor Prayers.
Rabbi Haikins explains, “One such thing that comforts the soul is saying a prayer called Kaddish.” Kaddish is said in a quorum of ten men by mourners daily, for eleven months, three times a day in synagogue, following burial. Kaddish is also recited on each yahrtzeit (Jewish anniversary of passing). Traditionally the children of the departed recite Kaddish, though anyone can say it. Even if your departed loved one was not too involved in Judaism, hiring a Torah scholar to say Kaddish comforts the deceased’s soul.
“This group is to be commended for the great kindness they are providing for the departed and their families,” Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz, MD.
Many Kabbalistic sources site the significance of Mishnah study. On a mystical level, there is a direct connection to the word ‘soul’ or nishamah and ‘Mishnah’. Both words have the same letters transposed in Hebrew. Mishnah study brings spiritual elevation to the soul. Many family members want to give their departed loved ones the merit of Mishnah study, but don’t know how to study Mishnah. A Torah scholar can be commissioned to study and complete a tractate of Mishnah in time for the shloshim (thirtieth day after burial) or yahrtzeit (anniversary of passing).
"They provide an invaluable service for those who have difficulty finding a meaningful yet manageable way to memorialize and bring merit to someone whom they've recently lost. The study brings not only merit to the departed, but inspiration to the mourner,” Rabbi Gedalyah Berger, NY.
Jews know and believe in the world to come. Since childhood they are trained in the belief that this world is just a stepping stone to a higher world When a Jew passes away and leaves behind mourning family and friends, they are his continuous link to eternity. The age-old custom amongst Jews is to study portions of the Mishnah – or ideally, the complete six orders of the Mishnah – as an eternal memory for dearly departed souls. The more Mishnah that is studied, the more the soul derives spiritual, everlasting bliss. If nobody is available to study for the deceased, Torah scholars can be commissioned through www.JewishDeathAndMourning.org to study the Mishnah. The Society’s mission is to enable any section of Mishnah to be studied at any time for any person.
JewishDeathandMourning.org is a division of The Society for Mishnah Study, a non-profit organization that works with Torah scholars nationwide to help Jews provide merit to their loved ones through prayer and Torah study. 732-364-4090 or 888-6-KADDISH
