Visitors to graves of Jewish loved ones leave pebbles on the tombstone. This mizvah (good deed) serves to remind others that someone has come to remember and pay honor to the deceased. According to some Jewish authorities, the act also symbolizes the visitor's kind act of helping to erect a monument honoring the deceased inasmuch as in ancient times graves may not have been dug; rather, the dead body was merely covered with stones to memoralize and protect the deceased.
A tombstone in a cemetery read: "I would rather be in Las Vegas"
Paul said: "they are not all Israel, which are of Israel." Rom.
9:6 This principal is true in all aspects of our lives. Not all who are in the Church represent the Church. Not all in a marriage are truly of the marriage. Some members of a partnership are not true partners. Some living in a community do not contribute to the community.
