When a beloved religious teacher dies, how do disciples transform raw grief into spiritual understanding? Three Hebrew poems composed by Pinchas Peli upon his teacher's death navigate this ancient human challenge through the lens of Jewish liturgical tradition. Published with English translations in Conservative Judaism (1973), the poems "Mah La'asot?" (What Can We Do?), "With Outstretched Arms," and "Who Can Find?" weave traditional biblical imagery into a meditation on loss, legacy, and the enduring nature of spiritual mentorship. The first poem builds upon the teacher's final words—"Mah laasot?"—elevating this question into a spiritual inheritance symbolized by pillars of clouds and fire. Through metaphors of embrace and closed doors, the second poem explores how spiritual bonds persist beyond death, while the third reimagines the biblical "woman of valor" passage to confront questions of dignity amid suffering. Drawing on Hebrew phrases and religious symbolism throughout, these verses demonstrate how personal mourning can evolve into theological reflection, revealing how a teacher's influence lives on through the persistent questions and spiritual seeking they ignite in their students. The work illuminates both mourning practices and the transmission of wisdom within Jewish literary and religious traditions.
