i recently visited his kever. it was uniquely bare of all plants in a sharply deliniated Tzuras HaKever. this is different from all the kevarim which had some grass or something growing on the mokom. it was as if it was a fresh grave. very strange. ????”?
It is very common for Rabbanim not to have any trees, plants or flowers, because many halachic authorities forbid it.
Upcoming Yartzeit: 28th of Av, Tuesday August 18th.
Rav Pam’s father’s name is Meir Zanvil, as stated on his kever. But on Rav Pam’s kever, the Zanvil is missing. Any reason for this?
Apparently, this issue was already dealt with.
Anybody here wanting to go on Monday, December 30th by any chance? From Flatbush — looking for a ride or to share a car. Thank you.
Rav Aharon Pam told me that although his grandfather had the name Zanvil, he never used it and it was “ishtakach.” (I think he said it was not even used when he received an aliyah.) However, he wanted it on his kever in case someone from the old country would notice it and have a hirhur teshuvah. His son, Rav Avraham, never used it and it was therefore left off his matzeivah.
