Cemeteries on Tisha b'Av
Is it appropriate to visit a cemetery on Tisha b'Av? QUESTIONS ON PARSHAS MAASEI BY: THE RAV The Talmud records a practice of visiting cemeteries on public fast days, and it offers two rationales: First Aliyah: (33:2) Why tell me that Moshe “wrote” the journeys of Bnei The visitor says he is "as though he is dead" in his Yisrael – isn’t it understood that he wrote down all the words of the Torah? suffering, and Second Aliyah: (33:40) Since not all the details of our journeys are recorded The visitor asks those who are buried there to here, why are the particular details of Aharon’s death and the subsequent pray on his behalf. “hearing” of the Canaanite king stated here? Commentators offer a third reason: the visitors are Third Aliyah: (33:53) Based on this pasuk, is it a mitzvah for a Jew today to reminded that if they do not repent, they will meet the fate live in Eretz Yisrael? of those who are already in the cemetery. Fourth Aliyah: Why are only ten tribes listed in this section and what does Based on this ancient practice, many Jews visit cemeteries that tell you about the other two tribes’ inheritance? after concluding kinos on Tisha b'Av. For mystical reasons Fifth Aliyah: (35:6) Why are the Cities of Refuge owned by the Levi’im? regarding impurity, some stay at least seven feet from the Sixth Aliyah: (35:25) Why is the time of confinement in a City of Refuge graves, or even refrain altogether. linked to the death of the Kohen Gadol? Halachic authorities warn that people should not go to the Seventh Aliyah: (36:11) Why are the names of Tzlofchad’s daughters cemetery on Tisha b'Av in groups, lest the visit lose the mentioned explicitly again here? introspective and mournful character appropriate for Tishah b'Av.
