    Ladies and gentlemen my Mom was hospitalized a week ago for pneumonia and other issues. This afternoon I went to visit her and she passed away at the age of 95. I won’t be able to post here for around a week or so because I have to arrange her funeral and follow Jewish mourning customs.

    Shelo ted'u od tza'ar – “That you should know no further sorrow.”

    ani mishtatef(et) betsa'arech(a) (אני משתתף בצערך) “I participate in your sorrow” “I'm sorry for your loss.

    Yitgadal v’yitkadash sh’mei raba b’alma di v’ra chir’utei; v’yamlich malchutei b’hayeichon u-v’yomeichon, uv’hayei d’chol beit yisrael, ba-agala u-vi-z’man kariv, v’imru amen.

    Translation:
    Magnified and sanctified is the great name of God throughout the world, which was created according to Divine will. May the rule of peace be established speedily in our time, unto us and unto the entire household of Israel. And let us say: Amen.

    May God’s great name be praised throughout all eternity. Glorified and celebrated, lauded and praised, acclaimed and honored, extolled and exalted ever be the name of thy Holy One, far beyond all song and psalm, beyond all hymns of glory which mortals can offer. And let us say: Amen.

    May there be abundant peace from heaven, with life’s goodness for us and for all thy people Israel. And let us say: Amen.

    May the One who brings peace to the universe bring peace to us and to all the people Israel. And let us say: Amen.

    Sorry for your loss, Jeff.
    May God's peace be upon you. I lost my mother when she was 76 years old and I like to think about her every once in a while(the way my brain works), she was a excellent mother!

    So sorry to hear this. I just attended a funeral of an older friend last Saturday. Not the same, but I can empathize with your loss. I pray that you will find peace despite the difficult place in life.
