Public, communal mourning can be mysterious, off-putting, full of superstition and deeply moving. Who should stay? Why do we say Yizkor at all? What does it really mean? We'll look at these questions and more as we explore together this powerful Jewish prayer and its many meanings for us today. Rabbi Tamara Miller is the Director of Spiritual Care at The George Washington University Hospital.
