REFLECTING
VALUES
Among Jews, it is a traditional practice to cover up all the mirrors in a house of mourning. This conspicuous custom, which dates back to the Middle Ages, is steeped in spiritual' values. To begin with, the use of a mirror is eschewed during mourning because it is used for personal grooming and cosmetic purposes, which should have lost their importance to the mourner. Those who are stricken with grief do not want the comfort that the use of a mirror can bring. In addition, during the shiva, it is customary to hold daily services in the house of the mourner, who is prohibited from praying in front of a physical image, even one’s own face reflected in a mirror. Traditions and rituals drawn from one’s own faith offers solace and familiarity at a time when the world has suddenly shifted. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Ave, Warrenton, .we respect the traditions of all faiths and denominations and help each client design services that reflect their values and background.
