Bereavement in Judaism

Bereavement in Judaism (Hebrew: אֲבֵלוּת, avelut, "mourning") is a combination of minhag (traditions) and mitzvah (commandments) derived from the Torah and Judaism's classical rabbinic literature. The details of observance and practice vary according to each Jewish community.
