For Those Who Grieve: A Prayer Book for a Shivah House, (Hardcover)

Not all shivah houses are the same. Expressing one's feelings at a shivah is not easy for most people. Participating in the age-old Minchah and Maariv prayer services enables those present to speak with G-d. The new readings found interspersed throughout For Those Who Grieve enable those present to speak among themselves.

By merging existing texts from the Minchah and Maariv services with new writings from Rabbi Shawn B. Zell, expressing feelings of grief and assurances of comfort is made accessible. For Those Who Grieve serves as a fresh understanding of how experiencing grief together can be healing and truly meaningful.

The hope is, that through the book For Those Who Grieve, the pain of the mourner and the awkwardness of the visitor are lessened and peace may enter the hearts of all who participate in a shivah house event.
