A funeral is a very sacred time, and the goal of a Rabbi is to bring closure and healing through prayers, music, and the sharing of a eulogy, and remembrance by family and friends. Each person is unique with special gifts and talents; and it is important to tell their story. This is the time to share memories.
As a Rabbi, I want to help the family and friends to under-stand the complexities of life and the mysteries of death; and that God be with them as they walk through the valley of grief, and emerge once again into the bright sunshine of life.
