Do you put the given name of a convert on their tombstone?
- If a person is a convert and will be buried in a Jewish cemetery, does one use the Hebrew name or the name that was given to him at birth? The gentile name given at birth is VERY gentile and it does not seem right to put this name on a stone. How does one deal with this problem?
Food at an unveiling?
- Do you have to provide food and/or drink at the cemetery after a unveiling? If so, what is the significance of this ritual?
Questions about Jewish headstones
- I would like to know why it is that Jewish people do not put a headstone on a grave until a year has passed? Also, why do we put stones on the markers when we visit?
