This anonymous <<unpublished manuscript>> is an untitled, yet complete work focusing on the proper attitudes, behaviors, and Halacha of everything that occurs from visiting the terminally ill through burial and Shiva. The highly learned author, who cites from all over rabbinic literature, writes in a fine, clear hand, each page laid out in a useful and pleasing manner, with topics supplied in the margins. Included is an extensive Yiddish translation of the lengthy Viduy confessional that can be recited with a dying person who does not understand the Hebrew.
