According to the custom of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews when leaving a cemetery one washed one’s hands and turned to the graves and made this declaration taken from the Book of Deutoronomy: “our hands did not spill this blood now did we witness it with our eyes.”
I have a question to ask in relation to liturgy according to the Habad custom. Could you please put me in touch with a person who is expert in this area.

I got 6 of 10 right. That’s a D in school grading system. I have a lot more to learn about traditional Judaism. Was raised Reform and hadn’t had much of any connection after my bar mitzvah until more recently in life. Reply

I got 9 out of 10 correct. The only question I got wrong was about the foods at a Pidyon HaBen. I am current writing a speech about Pidyon HaBen, & I had never heard read anything about it. Chabad has a lot of articles about Pidyon HaBen. I will have to read them all before I give my speech. Reply

Tough quiz (7/10). Here's a bonus question for everyone: What did a local Chabad shliach tell his congregant to do at the end of the shloshim (first thirty days of mourning a parent)? (A) Eat an egg dipped in ashes. (B) Drive a nail into the floor of his house. (C) Light a candle. (D) Recite the entire book of Devarim. Reply

Why do people uproot 3 tufts of grass upon leaving the cemetery? I thought they just washed their hands. Reply
