La disparition d'un être cher nous place brutalement dans l'urgence. En plein désarroi et chagrin, il nous faut assumer des décisions importantes et entreprendre des tâches déconcertantes : régler les modalités pratiques liées au décès, s'enquérir des coutumes relatives au deuil et décider de celles que l'on souhaite ou non observer. Mais que faut-il faire ? A qui faut-il s'adresser ? Comment agir dans le respect de la volonté du défunt ? Et comment manifester son affection et son soutien à des proches ou amis endeuillés ? La présente épître apporte des indications concises sur les us et coutumes de la Tradition juive, notamment sur les prières qu'il convient de réciter, et leur sens.Elle propose aussi des informations pratiques telles que les procédures à suivre et les personnes à contacter lorsqu'un proche vient à mourir. Loin d'énoncer laconiquement les règles traditionnelles, elle prodigue des conseils adaptés aux endeuillés, sur ce qu'il leur est possible de faire quand ils ne se sentent pas en mesure d'appliquer les coutumes à la lettre. L'aspect psychologique et spirituel de l'accompagnement du malade ou de l'endeuillé, et de ses proches, y est largement pris en compte.Parmi les questions abordées : Doit-on informer un malade de la gravité de son état ? Que dire aux enfants ? Qu'enseigne le judaïsme sur la vie après la mort ? Les femmes peuvent-elles réciter la prière du Kaddich pour un parent décédé ? Que dit la Tradition juive sur l'incinération ? Peut-on rendre les honneurs funèbres à une personne suicidée ? Que peut faire un membre juif pour partager le deuil de la famille non juive, et inversement ?

Following their own brilliant careers in haeme protein research, the outstanding scientists Jonathan and Beatrice Wittenberg continue to provide inspiration to the research community in the study of oxygen-binding proteins. Their research has provided the intellectual stimulus to bring together scientists from all over the world with the common goal of developing fascinating new ideas and performing innovative experiments. This book is dedicated to Jonathan’s and Bea’s lifetime careers. It further illuminates the facts and ideas which dot the paths they traced in Biochemistry and Physiology, elaborating on how these landmark achievements were made and how the haeme proteins community still refers to them. With the field of haeme protein science such a flourishing area, the contributors to this book predict Jonathan and Bea, having played such a seminal role, will continue to be key figures for quite some time to come. Praise for the Wittenbergs and their lasting contributions to research: "Oxygen: a two-atom molecule, but what a wealth of chemistry, and what implications for life! I was always convinced that the deep roots of such a simple statement have constantly inspired the seminal work of the Wittenbergs on the mechanisms of oxygen diffusion and on the varied cellular roles of dozens of different haeme proteins." (Martino Bolognesi) "All of us who study oxygen transport and all who value good science are in their debt." (Ken van Holde) "Beatrice and Jonathan Wittenberg have inspired generations of scientists to explore the mysteries of haeme proteins. Their papers…prompted discussions… in the 1970s and led to investigations on numerous invertebrate myoglobins and haemoglobins…" (Nora Terwilliger) "I was one of many PhD students in the late 1980s who were weaned on the seminal work by the Wittenbergs on myoglobin-facilitated oxygen diffusion. Before reading that article, myoglobin and oxygen diffusion was a mystery to me. With their work, biochemistry and physiology became a dynamic presence in my life." (Cinzia Verde).
