The memorial prayer Kel Malei Rachamim concludes "may they rest in peace in their resting place[s], and let us say Amen."

Okay, how to say "resting place[s]." Mishkavam? Mishkaveihem? Mishkevoseihem? Seems I hear people unsure on this one.

  • In my shul, they only say kel maleh for one person at a time. Maybe the difficulty of conjugating is the reason? (/tongue-in-cheek)
