Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Death is a time of life that holds meaning for the dying, their family and friends, their communityand us."Most of Torah's teaching is about how to live. But there is a special section within its wisdom that also speaks to us about how to die. Since we are all mortals, our lives fashioned somehow around the awareness that death is inevitably to come, this is one of the important lessons. There is something profound to be learned about the way of dying, and it is best learned from the wisdom and stories of those who have gone before us."from the ForewordStudents of the Hasidic masters wrote down the stories of the last months, days, hours and moments of the lives of their rebbes.
