When the temple stood in the ancient city of Jerusalem, mourners walked through the gates and into the courtyard along a specifically designated mourner’s path. As they walked, they came face to face with all the other members of the community, who greeted them with the ancestor of the blessing, May God comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. In this way, the community embraced those suffering bereavement, yet allowed for unique experiences of grief.
