In this session we cover chapters 359-367 in Shulkhan Arukh Yoreh Deah. We speak about the different practices regarding the presence of women at funerals and in that context, the mystical influence on R. Yosef Karo. We review chapter 362 which speaks about the position of the body at burial and the different ways to conduct burial and cover the body and the coffin. Finally, in chapter 367 we discussed our responsibility towards non-Jews and we have expanded the discussion from taking care of the dead to saving life on Shabbat, with the conclusion taht we must treat all humans equally.
