Rosh Hashana
Cemetery Visits

By RABBI SAMUEL FOX

(Copyright 1980, JTA, Inc.)
It is customary to visit the

cemetery during the month
preceding Rosh Hashana
because, from a practical
point of view, nothing pro-
motes a mood of serious re-
flections like a visit to the
cemetery. If this is to be a
serious month the visit to
the cemetery during this
month would indeed set the
mood for repentance.
Some claim that the visit
to the cemetery is to ask the
deceased to pray for us from
their heavenly position. For
this reason some visit the
graves of saintly leaders of
our people as well as their
parents and relatives.
Others claim that the
visit to the cemetery is
made to pray for the de-
ceased. This is based on the
belief that the deceased are
undergoing judgment at
this time of year just like
the living. Our remember-
ing them and praying for
them at their graves would
thus be a source of grace and
blessing for them.
