Teresa Graham+FollowWhy Jews Bury Old Books Like Family?Ever heard of a book funeral? In Judaism, when sacred texts like prayer books or Torah scrolls get too worn out, they’re literally buried—just like people. It’s not about tossing them out, but showing deep respect because these books are considered holy. Some synagogues even collect old texts to bury them together, sometimes during real funerals. It’s all about honoring the words that have shaped generations, giving them a final resting place. Kind of beautiful, right? #JewishTradition #BookBurial #SacredTexts #Religion112Share
