"Für keine andere Krisensituation, in die ein Mensch geraten kann, gibt es im Judentum eine so reiche Tradition von Ritualen und Vorschriften wie für Trauer. Die jüdischen Trauerriten stellen einen Gegenentwurf zum heute weit verbreiteten Umgang mit Verlust und Trauer dar. Oft finden Trauernde in der modernen Welt keinen angemessenen Raum, in dem sie ihrer Trauer Ausdruck verleihen können und meinen, den gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen gemäß, weiter funktionieren zu müssen. Sie ziehen sich mit ihrer Trauer in Isolation und Anonymität zurück. Die jüdischen Trauervorschriften hingegen schützen Trauernde vor Isolation und geben ihnen Halt. Die Autoren zeigen, wie im Judentum Trauernde durch die unterschiedlichen Phasen des Trauerprozesses begleitet und in die nun veränderte Welt zurückgeführt werden. Dabei unterstützen verlustorientierte und wiederherstellungsorientierte Traditionen die Trauerarbeit und sind damit eine Trauerbegleitung, die vor komplizierten Trauerverläufen schützen kann."

Mesopotamian and biblical societies in antiquity were characterized by their patriarchal structure. The father was head of the family unit, and his rule extended over many areas of life. He had broad legal authority over the members of his household, including his offspring. It is therefore expected that in the ancient sources a dominant father figure would be mentioned alone or almost alone. And yet, in Mesopotamian and biblical texts, particularly legal writings, the exclusivity of the father is not always explicit. In many of the Mesopotamian and biblical writings, especially legal texts, the mother is mentioned in various contexts and in a range of realms, mainly those pertaining to her offspring. This intriguing phenomenon raised the question whether the mother in the ancient Near East and ancient Israel had legal authority in the household. The book The Legal Status of the Mother in the Ancient Near East and the Bible sheds light on the world of the ancient mothers and their status within the households and the societies in which they lived. This study demonstrates that the mother acted by virtue of the legal status she possessed in matters related to her sons and daughters' marriages and their behavior towards her. This book is for those walking in the fields of Mesopotamian and biblical research, and for readers interested in the universal subject in question - the relations between the mother and her offspring
