Why does Judaism place such emphasis on proper burial, what does it reveal about the value of human life, and what is so problematic about cremation? This class explores the Torah’s vision of burial as a profound moral and spiritual practice. From the first recorded burial of Sarah to the laws and customs that continue today, we see that burial honors the body, respects the soul, and upholds the natural and divine order. The class also examines the problems with cremation, showing how it contradicts Jewish law and the sanctity of the body.
