But it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep going back and forth each time. How important is it for us to be there at the time of the death, and how far should we go to be there?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Rabbi Chaim Mintz responds:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Death: The Departing of the Soul<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Death is the time that the soul and body part ways. Every person is made up of a body and a soul. A Jewish soul originates from the highest places in Heaven, right near Hashem\u2019s \u201cHoly Throne.\u201d The soul is sent down to this world to join a human body, and through Torah study and the performance of Hashem (God)\u2019s mitzvot, it earns a place in the World to Come. The presence of the soul in the body is what keeps the person alive in this world, and the moment the soul leaves the body is the moment of death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But death is not the \u201cend of the world,\u201d or a person\u2019s final destination, and when a person dies, life is not over. While the body \u2013 the clothing of the soul \u2013 is laid to rest, the soul lives on, and returns to the upper worlds, where it will hopefully earn a prominent place in the World of Souls. But since the soul has been down on this world for many years, especially someone who passes away at a ripe old age, as it heads back to the upper spheres it is overwhelmed at the new surroundings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Calming Effect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, it is calming for the soul to have people there \u2013 specifically people it recognizes, or a <em>minyan<\/em> (quorum of ten men) \u2013 as it transitions into the next world. While it is not an obligation to be there, it is a kindness we can do for the departing soul. So you should try to have someone there if possible, but you don\u2019t have to go all out to make sure everyone is there. If you cannot all keep going each time, I suggest you make a rotation, and have different family members come at different times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong><em>In short: <\/em><\/strong><\/em><strong><em>It is not an obligation to be there as s\/he is dying, but it is a kindness for the departing soul to have some people there as it transitions back to its original source. You can make a rotation, and have different family members coming at different times.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button tm-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.torahmates.org\/sign-up.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about the mitzvot of love, fear of, and belief in God, with a TorahMate.
