spiritual strength. "It is vital
for Jews to understand that

that only the study of Torah
can revive our shaky foun-
dations."

leading Reform rabbi has
urged Jews to avoid partici-
pation in funeral processions
both because they waste
gasoline and because they
"are a waste of effort for
they bring no comfort" to the
bereaved family.
Rabbi Daniel Jeremy
Silver, in making the sugges-
tion in his temple bulletin,
added that a ban on such
processions would conserve
gasoline and relieve traffic
congestion. But the fuel short-
age is not the major issue,
he declared.
"Comfort is in meeting.
True, it was a mitzva to ac-
company the dead to the
grave, but that custom grew
up in the cultures where
people walked only the brief
distance to the cemetery."
Rabbi Silver said Jews
should greet the family mem-
bers "when they arrive
home" after the interment or
visit them that day or the
next.
