The topics cover liturgical poetry as well as statutory prayers; confessions, final testimonies and acts of charity; funeral and mourning rites; the influences of the surrounding non-Jewish; the effects of major acts of persecution."-- CN BM712 SN 3110338610 SN 9783110338614 K1 Jewish mourning customs : Europe K1 Death : Religious aspects : Judaism K1 Jews : Europe, Western : History : 70-1789 K1 Judaism : History : Medieval and early modern period, 425-1789 K1 Aufsatzsammlung K1 Konferenzschrift : 2010 : Tel Aviv
