Shloshim

Shloshim is a Jewish mourning period lasting thirty days after a loved one's funeral. It helps mourners gradually re-enter normal life while honoring the memory of the departed. During this time, certain mourning practices are observed, such as refraining from celebratory activities and avoiding parties or entertainment. Funeral customs, like daily prayers for the deceased, continue, but some restrictions are eased compared to the immediate mourning period. Shloshim provides structured time for grief, reflection, and adjustment, supporting mourners in honoring their loved one while gradually resuming regular routines.
