    We speak metaphorically of souls that are closer to God being "higher up." Li'iluy Nishmas" means that in the merit of the action we are doing the soul will be elevated. We pray that David's nishma will have a closer place to God due to our actions in his merit.

    I thought Jews maintain the a person is held accountable for his own actions, how then can such a system work?

    B/c we also believe in Arevim Ze La Zeh-where we look out for each other. We are a family, the Jewish people!!

    I think to use Arevim Ze La Zeh in this context is a complete distortion of a purely halakhik concept, that has very specific rules an limitations.

    Actually it is originally a concept in Machshava, brought down in the sifra, which is also used as a halakhic concept.
    Please keep to the tone of the blog and keep any disrespectful comments to yourself. Thank You.
