Ask Rabbi Dan
by Rabbi Dan S. Wiko PhD
Why do we place a stone on a grave marker when we visit the cemetery? Is it a sign of respect, a religious law, or just a tradition?
We leaves stones on top of head stones as a sign of having
been there.
Stones are used because they will remain wherever they are placed and not fly
off in the wind or move when it rains. It is a custom, rather than a rule or and
obligation.
