“You are children of the L-rd your G-d; do not cut yourselves or pluck out hair between your eyes for the dead” (Deuteronomy 14:1). Nachmanides notes that the introduction to the laws forbidding excess mourning for the dead is the statement “You are children of G-d.” He maintains that this teaches us that we are, in essence, spiritual beings, and that the soul does not die, only the body. Therefore, although clearly one should mourn and cry, since the soul still exists it is inappropriate to engage in mourning practices that are excessive, like self-mutilation or permanent removal of hair, for that would be tantamount to saying that death is absolute and final and includes the soul.

Getting an Oil Change
I just returned from taking my car for an oil change and safety inspection. I noticed, in shock, that the sticker on the front was over the period and so I rushed to an inspection facility and had it inspected for safety (hoping and praying that I would not be stopped by the police on the way). We do not only regularly inspect our cars, but, as someone who flies a lot, I happen to know (and am very happy that) the FAA inspects every plane on a regular basis. We do inspections all the time; cars, airplanes, fire detectors, hard drives etc. All our transportation methods and many other complex technologies get inspected regularly.
