For Everyone, Especially Al:


One of the tenets of Judaism is that we begin mourning the dead as quickly as possible. This allows us to express our grief and move on with our lives. After all, we are still living and the dead are... well, dead. Notice that in the ritual, we Jews don't speak of the dead. Instead, we praise God. We view the passing of a loved one by praising the One who gave us the opportunity to enjoy the departed's presence during their life.

Do not mistake this praise as analogous to the person who provided the 2005 Cubs: Jim Hendry.

For the 2005 Cubs (first the Hebrew, then the English).

Glorified and sanctified be God's great name throughout the world which He has created according to His will. May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days, and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon; and say, Amen.

May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.

Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us
and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

He who creates peace in His celestial heights, may He create peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.
