Dear (name withheld): There is a reason why such an organization doesn’t exist in Israel! It’s because this whole wreath laying business is foreign to us Jews. We light memorial candles and put stones on the head stones or grave markers. Never do we use anything like a wreath to honor or memorialize our dead. Or is your cryptic comment little more than an antisemitic slur aimed at Mikey Weinstein. Ignorance is as ignorance does…and if that fits you, wear it well. Rabbi Joel R.
