l e a r n @ j t s DID YOU KNOW? Responsa: Converts Mourning the Deaths of Close Relatives All of this would confuse a person whose Jewish identity was still developing and would diminish the significance of Judaism in the eyes of the ger and his or her Jewish family. The fact that I strongly believe in the value of the traditional Jewish way of grieving and in the obligation of every Jew, born or converted, to follow this tradition gave me the moral strength to push her and myself to go the full nine yards. In The Jewish Way in Death and Mourning, Rabbi Lamm notes that there is no obligation for gerim to mourn non-Jewish parents in the "prescribed Jewish manner."

A Dilemma Judaism Prefers to Ignore David’s bereavement, as he wept for the friend who had defended him in the most trying of circumstances during the years in which Saul, Jonathan’s father, tried to have David assassinated, is neither a statement of hidden sexual tendencies, nor is it a denial of the former. It is easy to explain away David’s comment about Jonathan’s love being prized beyond the love of a woman as simply being a panegyric to his dear friend, spoken in a moment of extreme grief and being more of a symbolic than a sexual statement. David’s words may be literal and they may not be, and no one except the departed King knows for sure. www.wzo.org.il /en/resources/view.asp?id=1463   (2641 words)
