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