Sivan Rahav~Meir (Translation by Yehoshua Siskin): Education is tested not when parents are there but when they are not, yet their children see their image, are reminded of their character, and act accordingly.
CAMERON SHINGLETON: while "ancestor worship" sounds like a slightly chilly business, the Vietnamese name suggests otherwise: "đạo ông bà" means literally "the belief in grandpa and grandma."
WAYNE DOSICK: Tradition teaches that in the year following death our loved one's soul is being judged.
RICHOKA: it was the custom of the firstborn males to serve as the household priests and perform certain religious rituals and rites on behalf of their respective families.-The firstborn was responsible for bringing gifts such as food, oil, and water etcetera to his deceased parents because he believed that’s where their spirits dwelled. During this ritual, he would chant his parents’ names in a prayer to keep his parents’ spirits alive.-The firstborn was responsible for appealing to the spirits of his dead ancestors to have them intercede on his family’s behalf with the gods.
Shira Smiles: Rav Tzvi Hebel, in the sefer "The Neshamah Should Have an Aliyah," quotes the idea that the mere mention of the deceased's name has an impact on their neshamah. On a mystical level, Rav Hebel notes, when a soul's name is mentioned, it is renewed.
THE INDEPENDENT: People aged 65+ spend 80% of their time at home
And I wonder if you knowThat I never understoodThat although you said you'd goUntil you did I never thought you would
Never thought the words you said were trueNever thought you said just what you meantNever knew how much I needed youNever thought you'd leave, until you went
Morning comes and morning goes with no regretAnd evening brings the memories I can't forgetEmpty rooms that echo as I climb the stairsAnd empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairsAnd I wonder if you knowThat I never understoodThat although you said you'd goUntil you did I never thought you would
PATRICIA KARLIN~NEUMANN: The Hebrew letters kaf, bet, dalet—the sounds equivalent to K, V, D, forms the root for the word Kavod, honor.
The most well-known occurrence of this root is found in the 10 commandments: Kabed et avicha v’et imecha, “Honor your father and mother that you may long endure...” (Exodus 20:12)
If kavod habriyot is to honor human beings, the other most familiar usage of kavod in Judaism is the mitzvah, the obligation for kavod hamet—honoring the dead. Living in a time of COVID urges us to consider kavod, to think about what and who we honor. What does it mean to honor our father and mother in such a time as this?
JOSE FRANCISCO SYQUIA: The devil has power over anything electrical. 😈⛈️
SHRAGA SIMMONS: The obligation to honor and respect parents applies even after they have passed away.
Intercession of the living for the living is overrated.

VISION BEAR: FOREVER YOUNG
IRWIN KELLER: We read this in Psalm 27: My mother and father have left me, and Adonai gathers me in. Adonai gathers me in. The magic of the gathering is that, like the waves and the shore, it is not a net gain or net loss, but a rearrangement, a reconfiguration. 🎣
ALEX MCLEOD: Confucius suggests a three-year mourning period following the death of one's parent.
MARY HELEN BERG: Some nights still, Brown, 65, awakens and imagines Johnnie Mae sleeping next to her. During the day, Brown remembers the tasks that consumed so many hours of each day for so many years. She would prepare meals, get Mom situated in her chair, make sure the important items — the TV remote, her Bible — were within arm’s reach.
Readings in Classical Chinese Philosophy: A child is completely dependent upon the care of his parents for the first three years of his life- this is why the three-year mourning period is the common practice throughout the world.
Naftali Silberberg: The very body that died will be resurrected.
Stuart Swetland: An aspect of their beauty, of course, like the visible wounds of our Lord's resurrected body, will be the visible wounds of love that will show forth in every saint a unique aspect of how their self-sacrificing love reflected the brightness of Jesus' love for them. In this sense, the saints will be like a prism, reflecting the brilliant light of Christ into the myriad aspects of human love well and faithfully lived.
