| Description | Journal: Physics World Back in the Old Country, a practice among Jews who had lost a loved one was to light a candle on the "jahrzeit" or anniversary of their death. The candle was supposed to burn for 24 hours, and was placed in a holder called a "jahrzeit glass". Such items were never thrown away – inexpensive glass is a modern technology – and families kept theirs, often reusing them as drinking cups. The practice continued in the New World. In the title story of Philip Roth's first book, Goodbye Columbus, the protagonist recalls his grandmother drinking "hot tea from an old jahrzeit glass", an effective detail in conjuring up a transplanted ancestor. |
