הגדרה (אנגלית)

Desecration of the honor of the dead. Performing an action that harms the dignity of the deceased.

("And a deceased who passed away on the eve of Yom Kippur with darkness lying on the ground until the end of Shabbat, behold he is disgraced and dishonored among people; and when Rosh Hashanah falls on Friday and Yom Kippur on Sunday, and they are also close to contempt of the dead, the honor of people is great, which overrides the 'do not do' in the Torah" – Sechel Tov (Buber), Genesis 17)
