Rabbi Shlomo Ezagui provides a religious and scientific defense of traditional Jewish burial while arguing against the rising trend of cremation. He asserts that cremation is a violent act of destruction that shatters the molecular structure of the body and causes profound spiritual distress to the soul. In contrast, the author presents burial as a sacred final mitzvah that honors the body’s divine purpose and maintains a vital connection to the Jewish belief in future resurrection. By exploring the metaphysical bond between body and earth, the text emphasizes that burial preserves a person's identity and heritage, whereas fire merely scatters it. Ultimately, the source serves as a plea for the sanctity of the human form, urging a return to practices that offer dignity, memory, and eternal peace.Â
