eyes and speak a blessing: Blessed is the true Judge. Now one prepares it for
ablution: The body is lifted out of the bed, a bed with their feet toward the
door to the floor and covered with a white sheet. These tasks are performed
by members of the Chevra Kadisha, the burial society, a woman of the
Women's Association. In the washing of the body must never be completely
stripped, always the part of the body is only revealed, being worked on
currently. Then the dead man with the Tachrichim is the white, simple linen
robes bekeidet dead and covered with a white cloth. A man is also his tallit,
added his prayer shawl, on which the fringes have been removed. The
municipality has a Taharahalle own, so the dead will be brought there for
ablution; otherwise one leaves it up to the funeral in the funeral home. In the
East, the dead man is buried only in the dead man gown and shroud; in this
country you make your bed him in a simple coffin. Widely used the custom of
