For thousands of years, religious Jews have practiced the ritual of 'The Vigil' - When a member of the community dies, the body is watched round-the-clock in shifts by a Shomer, or watchman, who recites the Psalms to comfort the deceased's soul and protect it from unseen evil. This watchman is typically a family member or friend, but there are paid Shomers... Hired to sit the Vigil when no one else can.
