Question
Dear Rabbi, I was watching the funeral of a fallen Israeli soldier the other day at the military cemetery at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem. It was sad and I’m sure mine were not the only dry eyes. While watching, I remember hearing a custom for anyone who visits a grave to place a small stone on the headstone. What is the reason for this practice? Thanks, Rabbi!

Question
Does riding a bike on Shabbat violate any biblical laws, or only rabbinical? If one has extenuating circumstances that require traveling by some type of vehicle on Shabbat (such as visiting the sick), and a bike can meet that need, would the use of a bike be a lesser violation than driving a car? Or has one equally broken Shabbat?

Question
These are views created by a former Atheist. Who would claim devine invention, calling him to a ridiculous Mountain in South America. The ludicrous comparison by his brother, to others in biblical history "man's call to mountains"; speaking to a devout Atheist. 7 years ago. Much has changed in 7 years. Puma Punku (Shinar) 2 days South and West "the whole of the world" Geopolymar stone = Mud bricks Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.” (Genesis 11:1–4) Puma Punku (Impressive works by man's limited capacity) And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built. And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.” (Genesis 11:5–7) Tiwanaku (the confusion; not as impressive works, but very easy to understand story left for understanding) So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. And from there the Lord dispersed them over the face of all the earth. (Genesis 11:8–9) Now I lay bread crumbs in the hands of men of God to discuss. QI only ask to end the confusion, thus ending all squabble.

Question
Is it permissible to use weed killer (for example, roundup) on Shabbat to destroy weeds)? In this case, the weeds are destroyed, not uprooted from the ground, and the weed clearing is done daily to maintain a healthy backyard. If the Rabbis could, please bring a source or responsa you find on this.

Question
If someone has to violate civil law and risk going to jail in order to obey Torah law, what is one supposed to do? It just so happened that I witnessed a car accident this Shabbat. No injuries, but a lot of property damage. A police officer arrived on the scene and demanded I sign a witness statement. He said if I didn’t sign it, he would put me in handcuffs and into a police car and take me to jail for failure to obey a lawful order. I told him I couldn’t sign on Saturday because of my religious beliefs, but he didn’t care. He was very mean and viewed me as uncooperative. There was no one else around I could ask for help. I concluded that either way, I would be breaking Shabbat, and I reluctantly signed it with a scribble.
