5 powerful actions that can bring peace to their soul
Because even after death – you can still do something for someone you love.

Because even after death – you can still do something for someone you love.

When a loved one passes, the pain and longing can be overwhelming.
But alongside the grief, Jewish tradition offers a path forward: simple yet meaningful actions that can bring comfort and elevation to the soul of the departed.

1. Recite Kaddish daily

Kaddish is one of the most powerful things you can do to honor and uplift a soul.
If you’re unable to recite it yourself, a Torah scholar (avrech) can say it on your behalf.

2. Learn Mishnah in their memory

Even a short daily study or a single page dedicated in their name brings merit to the soul and supports it in the next world.

3. Give charity in their name

Tzedakah (charity) is an act of kindness in this world that has a ripple effect in the world above.
Whether it’s a donation or helping someone in need — doing so in the name of the departed brings light and spiritual elevation.

4. Write a few words in their memory

Share what they taught you. What touched your heart.
Writing is a powerful way to process grief, keep their memory alive, and honor their life.

 

5. Add their name to the Global Memorial Book

By registering your loved one in the Global Memorial Book, you ensure they are remembered each year — with Kaddish, prayer, and Torah study in their name.

These actions are especially meaningful for souls who have no one to act on their behalf.
That’s why we created this project — so that every Jew, no matter their background, can ensure a soul is remembered, honored, and elevated.
