Is it proper to send a Jewish family a sympathy card?

Question

I want to send my condolences, but I am not sure of the proper way to do this.

Answer 1

Why would their religion have anything to do with you feeling sympathetic for them? Just don't have the card be religiously affiliated.

Answer 2

I'm hot Jewish, but I think that would be a nice gesture.

Answer 3

Death and Grief extend beyond religious divisions....Just send a card that is non denominational...sympathy is sympathy completely apart from the religious context

Answer 4

I would think so - call your local synagogue and ask!

Answer 5

Of course, like anyone else, they will be grateful for your kindness.

Answer 6

Of course it is proper and a great idea.  (Just make sure there are no crosses / Jesus on it)

Answer 7

I think it would be a nice gesture.

During shivies, which is the seven days after the funeral that the family sits in remembrance of the dead, it is common for friends and family to stop by bringing food, and their condolences.

Flowers are not really appropriate . But what ever you send i am sure the grieving family will greatly appreciate it.

I am sorry for your loss, may who ever died rest in peace.

Answer 8

i think it would be nice to send one to them

if your really not saposed to then im shore they would just accept it
