Their candle, created with support from Reboot, was designed with the concept of “Hiddur Mitzvah”—elevating ritual through beauty, care and meaning.

Don’t think of mourning as the opposite of joy, by Rabbi Shira Koch Epstein July 31, 2024
"...The month of Av begins with deep mourning, particularly during the first nine days when we put joyous occasions on hold. The grief peaks on Tisha B’Av, the ninth day of the month, a day that gathers all our collective sorrows into one heavy moment. We remember...many other heartaches. The weight of our history presses down on us, demanding that we face our pain head-on.
...Joy, he says, is not merely the absence of sorrow, but the presence of a deeper connection that transcends our immediate circumstances. And in Jewish tradition, our joy is inherently collective. “The festivals as described in Deuteronomy are days of joy, precisely because they are occasions of collective celebration,” he writes. In our shared connection with God and each other, we discover a communal joy that carries us through even the toughest times..."

Mourning and Meaning Making -
Someday our current sorrows will be memories, woven into the tapestry of our shared destiny, By Rabbi Shira Koch EpsteinThis article initially appeared in My Jewish Learning’s Shabbat newsletter Recharge on May 18, 2024.
"...This year, that process is more fraught than most. It has been only six months since the massacres of October 7th, and we are still engulfed in a brutal war. How can we engage in acts of ritual remembering when we are living in between “they tried to kill us” and “we prevailed?”
Our processes of mourning and memory can provide some guideposts. ...We gather, share stories and support those in the depths of grief, collectively waiting for the time when we might begin to make meaning. This sharing is the beginning of a narrative process during which memories become stories, eventually burnished into legacy when they motivate our actions..."

Thursday will be the 13th anniversary of my Barbara's passing. I don't expect to mark the date other than probably shedding some tears, which I still do fairly regularly. It doesn't have to be a particular date for that.
I'm not Jewish, and I don't mean to appropriate culture. It's just that I don't know a term for that anniversary other than yahrzeit.

Tonight is my mom’s #yahrzeit. Gone 17 years, since 2005. She never saw an iPhone or used Facebook and she didn’t get to see President Obama elected.
