Ilui Neshama – Elevation of the Soul after Death

Often good deeds done in memory of a dead person are designated as an ilui neshama – an elevation of the soul or spirit. For example, the Kitzur Shulchan Arukh says that repentance on the anniversary of the death of a parent causes the parent’s soul to ascend in paradise (Ch. 221:1).

This concept is found in the Talmud in a number of places. Near the very end of tractate Berakhot (64a) we find: “Torah scholars find no rest either in this world or in the World to Come, as it is said  They will go from strength to strength, to appear before HaShem in Zion.”

And in tractate Shabbat  we learn: “For twelve months the body still persists, and the soul ascends and descends; after twelve months, the body is nullified and the soul ascends and from then on never descends”.

Pondering the concept of the ilui neshama should induce us to reflect on the loves of departed loved ones and consider how their personal example can continue to inspire us to good character and good deeds.
