It’s a minor pet peeve, but it is everywhere today so errrr…. please keep in mind that “Rest in Peace”/RIP literally comes from a latin phrase and is a very very deeply Christian expression.
When talking about the departed, Jews say “may their memory be a blessing.”
So please, when talking about a dead person who is Jewish, try to keep in mind that RIP is a Christian phrase.
I learned something today, so I’ll pass it on so someone else can learn too
While we’re at it, let’s talk about gravestones a moment.
Jews don’t erect grave markers (outside Israel) for 11 months after the death, so seeing pics of characters weeping over his gravestone now is a bzuh.
The unveiling of the gravestone’s a big deal, because it marks the end of the major mourning period. Also, and I really am pissed that I have to say this, please don’t draw a cross-shaped gravestone for Stan MOTHERFUCKING Lieber.
