The Laws of Mourning
A guide to the laws and customs of Jewish mourning for Ashkenazim and Sephardim, from caring for the dying and arranging a funeral through shiva, shloshim and the anniversary of a death. It also covers Kaddish, memorial prayers, cemetery visits and the interaction between mourning and festivals.
Typesetting: English serif text is paired with bold condensed sans-serif subheadings, italic terms and extensive numbered footnotes below fine coloured rules. Separate overview pages use arrow-linked boxes, shaded headings and a narrower sans-serif setting to organise practical distinctions. Small-cap running heads and outer folios link the charts and continuous reading pages.
