In Death and after Death. 173 James i. 27). Indeed, tradition has it, that there was in the Temple a special gate by which mourners entered, that all who met them might discharge this duty of love. There was a custom, which deserves general imitation, that mourners were not to be tormented by talk, but that all should ob- serve silence till addressed by them. Afterwards, to obviate foolish remarks, a formula was fixed, according to which, in the synagogue the leader of the devotions, and in the
... house some one, began by asking, "Inquire for the ground of mourning;" upon which one of those present if possible, a Rabbi answered, "God is a just Judge, " which meant, that He had removed a near relative. Then, in the synagogue, a regular fixed formula of comfort was spoken, while in the house kind expressions of consolation followed.
The Rabbis distinguish between the Onen and the Avcl the sorrowing or suffering one, and the bowed down, fading one* or mourner ; the former expression applying only to the day of the funeral, the latter to the period which followed.
