The Talmud tells of the son of sage who deeply mourned his father's untimely death. Each day he would go to the cemetery and prostrate himself on the grave weeping uncontrollably. One day his fathers spirit spoke to him, "Do you think you honor my memory in this way? Do not weep for me. Show your love by obeying God's teachings, by devotion to our faith and serving others. That is the memorial I deserve." -Rabbi Jacob S. Friedman
This is how we honor those who have come before us, by preserving the heritage they bequeathed to us.
