kay, let's be up front about
it: death is a bummer, and
the topic is one most of us
would rather ignore.
But it's smart to think about our
ultimate check-out in advance. And
for Jews, it's important to understand
religious laws and traditions surround-
ing death for those inevitable times
when we face the passing of loved
ones.
The Jewish Funeral Practices
Committee of Greater Washington
Web site offers a wealth of informa-
tion on the topic. The committee is a
coalition of 35 synagogues represent-
ing all points on the religious spec-
trum; the idea here is simply to pro-
vide the resources Jews need to make
informed choices.
The strongest offering on the site:
an extensive discussion of Jewish
funeral, burial and mourning prac-
tices, and the religious laws and tradi-
tions underlying them.
There is also an extensive collec-

Reading lists„ h hooks for
adults, books for children
and videos..

tion of references to books and
videos on death and dying from a
Jewish perspective for adults and
children, and links to Jewish burial
societies and associations around the
country.
A section on medical ethics takes
up such subjects as organ donation
and "aging with dignity" from a
Jewish perspective.
If you're into that sort of thing,
there are also announcements of meet-
ings, seminars and exhibits on death
and dying.
There's some local stuff here that is
of interest only to D.C.-area residents,
but most of the site is not pegged to
any single region.
The site is well laid out, if not par-
ticularly attractive; finding the infor-
mation you're looking for is easy. A
search engine makes it even easier,
although it tends to turn up spurious
hits along with the relevant ones.
But that's just a quibble. This is a
useful, information-packed site — not
exactly fun to visit, but useful and
important. Visit
