4. Rocks at the Grave
Jewish people place rocks at the graves of their loved ones
It shows remembrance—that the one lost is not forgotten
Jews can participate in the mitzvah of making a marker at a grave, by adding to the stone, therefore, they place stones on top of a gravestone whenever we visit to indicate our participation in the mitzvah of erecting a tombstone, even if only in a more symbolic way
