That post was so far out in left field, I doubt even you know why you posted it. OK, I'll bite. What does a Jewish tradition of praying for souls of the dead have to do with my post?

According to Jewish law, an infant does not actually reach full personhood until it is 30 days old. In the days when children commonly died soon after birth, the rabbis decided that parents of infants under 30 days old would be exempt from the requirements of mourning. The customs of sitting shiva, avoiding celebration for 30 days, and reciting Kaddish for eleven months are not traditionally observed for infants under 30 days old. Wishing to spare expense to families, the rabbis even decreed that a funeral is not conducted for such an infant. faithandvalues.com I was unaware of this. * * *
