It happened that whenever there was a Funeral in Yerushalayim and they took the Body to Har Hazeisim the Arabs would come out and greet the the Levayah with stones and curses and many times it happened that they were forced to leave the body and run to safety, this happened until it became challenging to get a Minyan to go to Levayos on Har Hazeisim.The Chevrah Kadisha decided they had to but a stop to this so they came up with a Plan. They called a large group of people together and told them we are going to end this problem we choose a senior Chevrah Kadisha member who had a White beard and will dress him In Tachrichim and wrap him in a Tallis and Have a Levayeh and you will see what will happen and the plan was put into effect.So out went this big Levayah and of course as they got to the Neighborhood of Har Hazeisim the where greeted by there regular welcoming comity with stones and alike accept this times things where different after throwing the first few rocks the “dead” arose and with him a large stick in one hand and Torch in the other and ran towards the Arabs and hit them to avenge his honor. The Arabs saw the dead rise and attack they went running in all directions fell over themselves and knocked each other over and the like and many rolled down Har Hazeisim with the he the monuments taking revenge also as people where tripping over them while running away.The people had a great laugh at the Arabs expense and never again was a funeral disturbed in the neighborhood of Har Hazeisim.They of course all realized in that weeks Parsha it said
