It is true. We do believe in eternal life after death.

In fact on many Jewish Headstones one can find the five Hebrew Letters Tav, Nun, Tzadei, Beit and Hei, an abbreviation for the phrase "Tehe Nishmatah Tzerurah Bitzror Hachayim," which means "May his/her soul be bound in the bond of eternal life."

We are taught that we are buried and we reside in the Garden of Eden until the Moshiach comes. We will then all be resurrected and our souls reunited with our bodies.

We will then be granted everlasting life.

I have invented a beautiful new product with which you can actually write a note to your departed loved one and leave it at the grave or memorial site - much like leaving a note in the Wall in Israel. This note is beautifully encased in a custom engraved river stone. These stones make a beautiful addition to any grave or memorial. No more scurrying around the ground at the cemetery looking for little pebbles.

While flowers are a good metaphor for the brevity of life, stones are far better suited to the permanence of memory. Loving memories, like stones, never wilt and die.

These bereavement stones have given my family's cemetery visits new meaning, and I hope they do the same for you and yours.
