Sorry to like ruin anyone’s night but I just wanna know how other people feel about something

So for those of you who don’t know Bruce Wayne is Jewish (if not religiously then at least ethnically), his mother is Jewish which makes him by default even if he doesn’t practice, Jewish

So I’m just thinking about Bruce who’s maybe 35? His oldest son has moved out months ago and they aren’t speaking, and his youngest son? His youngest son just ran away to Ethiopia and came back dead. So Bruce who hasn’t buried anyone but his parents not knowing any other way to and Jason being buried under Jewish customs

His body was taken back to Gotham and buried as soon as possible, there would never have been a viewing in the first place due to how broken his body is but it gives Bruce more of a reason to keep it closed casket, a part of Bruce’s suit being ripped for Keriah, Jason’s casket not being nailed shut (which makes it all the more possible for him to dig his way out when he does come back), and the biggest one for me. But just the image of Bruce filling in his own child’s grave, he hasn’t done it since his mothers funeral and in a way it hurts even worse, helping to cover the wooden coffin with his son inside himself, trying to keep his hands from shaking so hard he drops the shovel

And I just wanna say, I’m not Jewish, almost all of this just came from things I already knew about and doing research, if something is wrong or should be elaborated on please do tell me, and if anyone has anything else to add please feel free to add it in the tags or comments

The Tradition of Sitting Shiva: A Window into Jewish Mourning

When someone in the Jewish community passes away, family and friends often gather to offer support and remember the departed. One of the most significant customs associated with Jewish mourning is “sitting shiva.” Sitting shiva is a practice that provides comfort and solace to the bereaved, allowing them to navigate the difficult journey of grief within the warm embrace of their community. In this blog, we’ll explore the history, significance, and various aspects of sitting shiva in Jewish tradition.

Understanding the Meaning of Shiva

The term “shiva” is Hebrew for “seven,” which directly reflects the seven-day mourning period that typically follows the burial of a loved one. During this period, immediate family members, such as children, siblings, and spouses, observe a strict form of mourning. The core idea behind sitting shiva is to allow the grieving family to focus on their grief and healing without the distractions of daily life.

The Origins of Shiva

The practice of sitting shiva has ancient roots, dating back to biblical times. In the Book of Job, for example, we find evidence of a seven-day period of mourning. Similarly, the Book of Genesis describes Jacob’s intense grief after learning of his son Joseph’s apparent death. This historical connection shows that the concept of sitting Shiva has deep cultural and religious significance in Judaism.

The Shiva Process

The process of sitting shiva involves several key elements:

The Seven Days: As mentioned earlier, the mourning period lasts for seven days. This period begins immediately after the burial.

The Mourning Home: The bereaved family typically sits shiva at their home or the home of the deceased. They often cover mirrors, remove leather items, and sit on low chairs or cushions to symbolize their grief.

Reciting Kaddish: During the shiva period, family members often gather to recite the Kaddish, a traditional Jewish prayer that sanctifies God’s name and expresses the hope for the deceased’s soul to find peace.

Community Support: Friends, neighbors, and other members of the community visit the mourners, bringing food, offering condolences, and lending a sympathetic ear. The support of the community is a vital component of shiva, reinforcing the idea that grief is a shared experience.

Abstaining from Work: Observing shiva typically involves refraining from work and other daily responsibilities, allowing the grieving family to concentrate on their mourning.

Wearing Torn Clothing (Keriah): Family members may rend a piece of their clothing as a symbol of mourning and loss.

The Significance of Sitting Shiva

Sitting shiva serves multiple essential functions:

Healing and Grief Processing: The focused period of mourning helps the family navigate the complex emotional journey of loss. It encourages them to express their emotions, remember the deceased, and find comfort in their faith.

Community Support: The presence of friends and neighbors provides a crucial network of support. It reminds the mourners that they are not alone in their grief and that the community is there to help them heal.

Respect for the Deceased: Sitting shiva is a way to honor and remember the departed by gathering loved ones and sharing stories about their life.

Connecting with Jewish Tradition: Observing shiva connects the mourners with their Jewish heritage and religious identity.

The practice of sitting shiva is a profound and time-honored Jewish tradition that offers solace to those who have lost a loved one. It provides a structured mourning period and creates a sacred space for healing and reflection. The support of the community, the recitation of prayers, and the adherence to customs all contribute to a meaningful and culturally rich experience. Through the process of sitting shiva, Jewish people come together to comfort one another and celebrate the life of the departed while paying tribute to their faith and tradition.

Decisions

Decision

“Wait, I’m sorry, you want to... what?”

Keriah Auclair peered at the figure in the doorway, a bemused expression on her face.

"I said ‘I want to join the circus!’" Zephrine huffed, hands on her hips, “You know, the one that’s in town? Maman, were you even listening?”

Keriah had barely looked away from the flower arrangement she’d been working on when her daughter had very dramatically entered their home, slamming the door just a little too hard. Now though, she was looking at Zephrine, her attention undivided, brows knit together, her lips pursed.

“No, I heard you, what I mean to ask is…why?”

Zephrine blinked, her face no longer scrunched in indignant irritation. Keriah gestured to the seat across from her on the kitchen table, and slowly she took her place there.

"Oh.. um.” She wrung her hands together, uncertain until she suddenly wasn’t, and her posture and disposition perked up immediately.

“Okay! So, I went over there today, um, after my shift,” She lied, a little, as she’d actually left in the middle of it, “And I was able to talk to some of the performers!”

“I see.” Keriah acknowledged her daughter, and let her continue. If she picked up on Zephrine’s lie, as she was often able to, she made no indication of it.

“And they were really, really nice. And so, so cool! They actually showed me some of their tricks they were working on, and,” She paused her increasingly excited gesturing to smile a bit sheepishly, “And I may have shown them my magic, which, I know, I’m not supposed to because it scares people and sometimes people turn blue or grow wings or things explode but, well, nothing bad happened and they were really impressed!”

Keriah bit her lip, and Zephrine continued.

“And they introduced me to their ringleader, Mr. Lemaire, and he was really nice too. He said he was really impressed, and I had potential! He said I could join, if I wanted!” Zephrine exclaimed, hands balled into very excited fists, before remembering the caveat he’d mentioned.

She grew quieter at the memory, her clenched hands moving to wring around each other again.

“Um, well, if you were okay with it, that is.”

Before Keriah could speak up, Zephrine leaned forward, and pleaded with her.

“Please, Maman, I know it sounds crazy, but I’ve never seen such a variety of people. Mr.Lemaire is a halfling, and I think I saw a goliath, and even a cat person!”

“A tabaxi,” Keriah interjected, distantly.

“Yes! And I think they’d actually be okay with.. You know. Me being a dragonborn. I wouldn’t have to look like this-” She gestured towards her half-elven form, a form that was as familiar as it was foreign, “I wouldn’t have to hide all the time. I could see new places, meet new people. I wouldn’t die alone in this town having never seen anything different! I could belong somewhere, for a change!”

As Zephrine pleaded, Keriah looked at her. She bit her lip, hit with a swirl of emotions both new and old. The mild amusement at her exuberance and youth. The fear of what dangers could spring from the shadows. The grief at the mere notion of possibly losing the young woman who she loved and was undoubtedly her daughter, lack of blood relation be damned.

What stuck out most, however, was the pain Zephrine had expressed. The pain her lies had ultimately caused her child, and the bittersweet realization that for her to flourish, it perhaps actually was best for her to see more of the world. She couldn’t protect her forever, as much as she wanted to. Not if Zephrine was to lead a happy life.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and smiled.

“You’re not going to die alone here, Zephrine. And you always have a place here, with me, and the people of this town.”

As her mother’s words sunk in, Zephrine’s expression started to grow crestfallen, but before it could fall completely, Keriah stood up and walked towards her. She gently brushed some stray strands of dark hair from her daughter’s forehead, giving it a gentle kiss.

“But, I will speak with this Mr. Lemaire, and if he is a good person like you say he is, then you can go with him, when the time comes.”

Zephrine stood up abruptly, an exuberant beam of sunshine, and she showered her mother in affection both verbal and physical. Keriah hugged her daughter tight in return, silently afraid that soon she may never do so again.

NEW CHARACTER:

Name: Keriahe Akuma

Nickname: Feral Cat (work alias)

Age: 18 and a half

Nationality: Japanese

About:

Feral Cat describes Keriahe perfectly. She is agressive and grumpy, often pushing people away and barking insults at anyone who looks at her cross. However, she can be the most loyal person you will ever meet if you try to get past her walls of trust and anger issues. She is a bodyguard in the Smiley & Co. gang, always there for her boss when she needs to be, and having no qualms in beating someone down. Her and Kira in a strange way are partners (both in a relationship, and alliance between the gang and the agency), and despite their often bickering they work together like a charm. The bad cop to Kira's good cop. She wants to become a pro-skater on the side from her work in the gang.
