What is a “matzeivah” (monument) and why should I purchase one?
The “matzeivah” is a stone monument that we erect at the grave of a loved one, to formally and permanently mark the site of the grave. Jewish tradition prescribes the placement of a monument on the grave of a loved one as a sign of love and respect, as part of the mitzvah of honoring and remembering the deceased, a religious obligation.
