Mortality Movies: My Mexican Shivah on prayer services at home

Mortality Movies is a 30-minute program with a panel of experts discussing topics such as funerals, grief, and related end-of-life topics. During each episode, several film clips are shown related to that episode’s topic. The expert panel discusses the film clips and share information that can help audiences understand end-of-life issues and plan for our 100% guaranteed mortality. Host @GailRubinleads the discussions.

This clip comes from the 2007 Mexican comedy film, My Mexican Shivah. At the very start of the film, Moishe has a heart attack and dies. This scene shows an example of the daily prayer service held in the house of mourning during shivah.

This clip will be discussed in an upcoming Mortality Movies episode on Jewish funeral, burial and mourning traditions. To learn more about Jewish funeral traditions, watch this talk by Gail Rubin: https://youtu.be/E-UOilfKvKc.
