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. jory Ansell, Harriet Band and Leah Snider.
