I’ve been blogging for business for about a year now and I just completed phase one of my first Jewish blog, KaddishJournal.com. I say phase one because I created KaddishJournal.com to chronicle my thoughts and feelings as I experienced the rituals of Jewish mourning during the first year after my mom passed away. I thought about continuing it as a general blog on things Jewish, but it was clear that the domain had another calling.

So I’ve decided to convert KaddishJournal.com from my own personal chronicle to a community resource. I’ve structured the blog so that the default setting for anyone who registers as a new user has authoring capabilities. Thus, anyone can register and then post there experience. In so doing, I hope to transform Kaddish Journal from my personal journal to a community journal and resource.

I am hoping to turn it from my personal journal into a resource for Jews experiencing the loss of a loved one and who are looking for insights into some of the emotions they might be experiencing, or looking for insights into the Jewish rituals surrounding death and mourning.

The more people who post, the greater a resource it will be. I suspect most people who lose a loved one will not start their own blog as I did. I hope that you will consider sharing your pain, comfort, and full range of thoughts, feelings,  so that those who might be experiencing the same thing, or for those who are about to experience similar things, will find comfort in your words.

I’m sure that people will respect the blog and its readers and only post their experiences related to Jewish mourning and Jewish mourning rituals, but I will retain sole editing capabilities and will remove inappropriate posts as soon as I see them. That’s right, people who register will not only be able to write and edit, but even post to the blog. Thus I will not be reviewing and deciding on what to post.

All you have to do to post is look on the left sidebar under the “Meta” title and click on “Register” or you can just click on this link to Register for KaddishJournal.com.
