HaMakom

The word "HaMakom" is Hebrew for "The Place".  That may sound like a pretty ordinary word until you see how it is used. Following the death of a loved one it is Jewish custom to say this blessing of comfort to those who are left behind, "May God console you among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem (Ha'makom yenahem etkhem betokh she'ar avelei Tziyonvi'Yerushalayim)." The word  HaMakom, means, the (ha), and  place (makom). God himself is at times called "HaMakom", it is one of His names.  May you be comforted by the one who is the place where your loved one has gone. Sounds like the New Testament where Paul said that when we die our spirit returns to God who made it.  HaMakom (the place) The place is God Himself.  We are here In a journey to return to "the Place",  return to the one who made us. Some of us spend our entire life trying to run away from home. Running away from God, running away from the one who made us.  No place will feel like "home " until you return to the one who made you.  HaMakom :)
