English term or phrase: to get engaged, or to celebrate life after a funeral
Доброго времени суток.

If the Jewish community of St. Louis Park had a beating heart, a holy of holies, it was not a synagogue or the Jewish Community Center. It was the Lincoln Delicatessen, mostly just known as “the Del,” and the competitor to my aunt and uncle’s Boulevard Del. My mom worked at the Lincoln Del as a bookkeeper to put my sister Jane through Bryn Mawr College, and as a little boy I used to play on the baker’s wooden tables, sometimes braiding challahs. The Lincoln Del was owned by my parents’ dear friends Morrie and Tess Berenberg. Morrie held court there at a table in the dining room every afternoon and evening, entertaining customers while keeping an eye on the deli counter.

Berenberg’s granddaughter Wendi Zelkin Rosenstein and Kit Naylor, who have been drafting a history entitled Memories and Recipes from the Lincoln Del, observed in their book proposal that “for Jewish and non-Jewish customers alike, it was the Minneapolis version of ‘Cheers,’ except that at the Del everybody really did know your name.” What made the Del so beloved, added Rosenstein, “was that it was the true center of life for the Minneapolis Jewish community—it was the place for everyone to meet after school or before a movie, to tailgate before a bus ride to a sports event, ***to get engaged, or to celebrate life after a funeral***. From graduations to business meetings, the Lincoln Del remains a touchstone for people who grew up in Minneapolis and St. Louis Park.” The Del was also a vitally important mixing spot for the whole St. Louis Park community, a place where non-Jews got comfortable eating Jewish food and experiencing Jewish culture. People drove from all over the region to buy the Del’s bagels.

Спасибо.

Russian translation:для помолвок и для поминок
Explanation:
Просто витиеватое обозначение поминок. Дескать, жизнь продолжается. Не уверен, что это уже несколько шаблонное определение тут важно передать дословно.

Но если очень хочется, можно сделать что-нибудь литературное. Допустим, "отмечать окончание чьей-нибудь холостяцкой жизни или, наоборот, после поминок по кому-нибудь из знакомых, радоваться, что жизнь продолжается".

neutral  IrinaN: В еврейской религии "поминок" не существует. Но и православные не устраивают поминки, что подразумевает застолье, в церкви. https://sinagoga.jeps.ru/iudaizm/praktika-evrejskoj-zhizni/e...

  -> Не существует единой "еврейской религии" с едиными обычаями. А кроме того, есть ещё и местные обычаи, которые, к примеру, выходцы из СССР принесли с собой и на американскую почву в т.ч. И наши советские поминки (не обязательно прямо на кладбище) среди них
