Death, Burial, and Mourning

"God has given, God has taken away; blessed be the name of God." (Job 1:21)

Although Judaism emphasizes the importance of life, it views death as a part of life and has developed meaningful rituals for burial and mourning. Contact Rabbi Gorban at rabbigorban@tbetacoma.org or Cantor Fine at cantorfine@tbetacoma.org for more information about how Temple Beth El can assist you.
