Re: TARGET =>Placing rocks on tombstones

Hi,

It is a jewish tradition to leave a stone when visiting a grave of a love
one.  It is kind of a way of leaving your calling card or leaving a part
of you to show respect and caring.  The more stones you see, the more
visitor to that grave.

Hope this helps.
