Plucking Grass at the Cemetery

Tefillah

A teaching ofRav Moshe di Traniהרב משה בן יוסף די טראני

There is a custom to pluck grass from the ground of the cemetery after a burial. Rav Moshe taught that we do this as a reminder of the resurrection of the dead. The idea comes from the verse in Tehillim, "They shall spring up like the grass of the field."
