What is “unjewish” about the idea that marriage ends at death?”
Correct me if I am mistaken, but isn’t the only religion that seems to believe that marriage continues after death, Hindu? They (used to) take it to the extreme of throwing the widow on the funeral pyre of the husband (did they likewise throw a husband on the funeral pyre of his late wife?)but the rest of us believe marriage ends when one of the spouses dies.
