Today marks the 24th anniversary of September 11, 2001. We pause to honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the bravery of first responders who answered the call with courage and sacrifice.

Though twenty-four years have passed, the memory remains vivid and the lessons remain clear: cherish every moment, hold loved ones close, and stand together in unity.

We will never forget.

Northern Virginia Jewish Funerals was honored to host a Lunch & Learn with the residents of Ashby Ponds in Ashburn, VA. The program explored Jewish rituals and traditions at the end of life, emphasizing how advance planning can ease both the financial and emotional burdens on families.

We appreciated the opportunity to connect with the community, share the values that guide our work, and enjoy a wonderful lunch from Attman's Potomac Deli. We extend our gratitude to our partner, Shawn Williams from Fairfax Memorial Park, for joining us and to the Ashby Ponds residents for their warm welcome and meaningful engagement in this important conversation.

What is Sheloshim in Jewish Mourning?
After a Jewish funeral and the week of Shiva, families enter the next stage of mourning called Sheloshim, meaning “thirty” in Hebrew. This 30-day period offers a balance between honoring the deceased and slowly returning to daily life.
🕯️ A Period of Healing
Sheloshim is a sacred time when mourners step back from celebrations, music, and large social gatherings. The focus is on reflection, prayer, and remembering the loved one with dignity.
🤍 Ways Families Honor Sheloshim
• Reciting the Mourner’s Kaddish
• Sharing memories and stories
• Acts of charity in the loved one’s name
• Support from family, friends, and community
In places like Tysons Corner, Washington DC, and Maryland, these traditions are a meaningful way to honor Jewish values while creating space for healing.
At Northern Virginia Jewish Funerals, we guide families through each step of Jewish mourning, from Shiva to Sheloshim and beyond, with compassion and cultural clarity.

Last night’s Northern Virginia Big Challah Bake at the Pozez JCC in Fairfax brought women from all over the DMV together for an evening of laughter, learning, and lots of flour! With aprons on and dough in hand, novice bakers and seasoned pros alike shared in the joy of tradition, friendship, and community.

Northern Virginia Jewish Funerals was proud to be a sponsor and join Ellen Suls MacDonald and Sophia Spike in the fun. While not every challah rose to perfection, the warmth of the conversations and connections surely did. 🥖✨ A beautiful reminder that, just like challah, our community is braided together with love and meaning.

What Not to Do During the Jewish Mourning Period
Jewish mourning traditions are meant to create space for reflection, healing, and honoring a loved one’s memory. If you are observing Shiva, Shloshim, or another mourning period, or visiting someone who is, it’s important to understand what customs to avoid.
🕯 Skip the celebrations
Weddings, parties, and other joyous events are generally not attended during mourning.
🕯 Pause grooming
Haircuts and shaving are avoided as a visible sign of grief.
🕯 Quiet over music
Live music and entertainment are set aside to allow for reflection.
🕯 Respectful visits only
Visits should be supportive, brief, and focused on the mourner’s needs.
At Northern Virginia Jewish Funerals, we help families in Tysons Corner, Washington DC, and Maryland navigate these traditions with kindness and cultural clarity.
💙 If you’re unsure about Jewish mourning etiquette, we’re here to guide you.
