This philosophical-theological treatise examines the meaning and significance of death within the framework of Jewish thought and Biblical understanding. Drawing from a lecture delivered at the First International Congress on Genesis of Sudden Death and Reanimation, the study addresses modern humanity's tendency toward death avoidance while arguing for the necessity of confronting mortality to comprehend life's ultimate meaning. The methodology employs hermeneutical analysis of Biblical texts, particularly Genesis, Psalms, and Ecclesiastes, combined with rabbinic interpretations and philosophical reflection on the nature of human existence. Key findings reveal that death, rather than representing absolute negation, constitutes a continuation within the greater mystery of being and creation. The analysis demonstrates that the Biblical concept of humans created "in the image of God" (tselem) provides the theological foundation for beliefs about afterlife and the soul's immortality. The study concludes that death represents both an ending and a beginning—a return to the divine source rather than mere cessation. Unlike neighboring ancient civilizations preoccupied with death, the Hebrew Bible emphasizes sanctifying life over escaping mortality. The research establishes that eternal life must be earned through righteous living, suggesting that survival beyond death depends on one's relationship with the divine during earthly existence. The ultimate conclusion positions death as the culmination of a life spent in partnership with God, transforming mortality from tragedy into homecoming.
