Did you know that in Jewish tradition we place rocks in lieu of flowers on
a new grave? The reason for this is because flowers die, while stones are
eternal and represent the lasting soul. Stones are also for building, and show
our determination to rebuild after tragedy strikes. The ZAKA organization is no
stranger to tragedy, and their role in sustaining the sanctity of the body and
soul of those struck down by unnatural circumstances is a kindness that can
never be matched or repaid. First at the scene and always the last to leave
ZAKA members ensure the proper rituals of collection are performed at any
disaster site in keeping with Jewish tradition. As long as terror continues to
plague our Nation, ZAKA will continue to ensure its sanctity.
