Words in prayer—requests, wishes, and blessings—are not simply sounds; they are heartfelt emotions and desires sent directly to Him.
Orthodox Jewish communities focus their prayers on seeking blessings for the purity of childhood and for those enduring illness. The cemetery itself is the guardian of faith and traditions, where the respect of the centuries and today's requests are united.
