1. According to a widely known Jewish tradition when anyone passes away on a holiday eve, as did Joe on the day before Sukkot, it is a mark that the person is a true righteous person. Persons who pass and are buried on the eve of a holiday need no memorial week of shiva. Sadly, to afford an opportunity for those near and dear to make their final goodbyes, Joe was not laid to rest until the first day of Chol Hamoed, three days after death. Even in this final act, although it was not of his doing, one may sense Joe’s kindness. [The Examiner - USA]
