Halkin is one of the great Jewish thinkers and writers of this time, so this is a good book. However, I would have liked this book to have been a more intellectual treatment of Jewish eschatology, and less about Halkin’s personal experiences related to death and dying. As it is, there is not nearly enough written on the topic – and even Jews very well versed in the books and traditions of the faith find this subject confusing and opaque. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific *by I***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2016* This is a beautifully written book about Jewish views and traditions regarding death and afterlife, woven together with accounts of the author's own experiences with mourning and with contemplating and preparing for his own death. There were some marvelous and, in my view, at least, fascinating Jewish texts included, including a midrash that in paradise everyone is grouped with members of his or her own profession, and Maimonides' view that there will continue to be rich and poor even in the world to come. Halkin is particularly attentive to how Jewish mourning traditions and views of the afterlife evolved over time; the regular recitation by mourners of the prayer known as kaddish, for example, "appears first to have become a daily practice in thirteenth-century Germany, from where it spread gradually to the rest of Ashkenazi Europe and beyond."This material is unavoidably somewhat morose, but Halkin, who was my former colleague at the New York Sun and the Forward, is good, amiable company in confronting it and guiding readers through it. I hope he lives long enough to write more books as edifying as this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Halkin's book was a delight to read *by E***1 on Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2016* Clearly written, surprisingly accessible and lightened with charming and poignant personal observations, Mr. Halkin's book was a delight to read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/46510520-after-one-hundred-and-twenty-reflecting-on-death-mourning-afterlife](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/46510520-after-one-hundred-and-twenty-reflecting-on-death-mourning-afterlife) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
