The Jewish Lifecycle is filled with growth physically and spiritually and at each stage a person changes, Pirkei Avos 5:24 describes the Jewish Lifecycle.
The Jewish Name is very important throughout the Jewish Lifecycle and Jewish identity. Among the Ashkenazi Jewish communities (Jewish people from Germany and Eastern Europe), it is customary to name children after a recently deceased relative. This is a way of honoring loved one’s who have died and of keeping the dead person's memory alive.
 

Remember Me: Ethical Wills The ethical will is a Jewish tradition dating as far back as the Bible. It is a written statementfrom a parent, teacher, or other relative  which attempts to put into words the lessons learned and the values lived by during his or her lifetime. By writing this "letter" they hope to pass this legacy on to their children and future generations.
