When We Visit Graves

While running from the Nazis, Rabbi Morris Shapiro stopped on Friday August 7, 1954 to pray at the graves of his uncle and father.  “I did not pray to survive but rather that I should die repentant.” 

This is why visit the graves of loved ones before the Holy Days.  Even though they are gone from sight we still communicate our love and sorrow to them.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
