Zoning Out ~ The Contiguous Zone:  On Jewish graves, stones are the most common elements of memorialization in the contiguous zone. Stones vs. flowers: Which one is more symbolic of eternity? Which one withers and dies? Embodied in a single stone placed on the grave is a prayer that God embrace just one more soul. The beauty of the stones is in the simplicity of their symbolism, not in their glitz. Brith Achim Cemetery. [2013]
