[Avodah] Visiting the kevarim of parents/tzadikim

[A & C Walters]

It is not only the Litvaks which do not have the practice; also many
Chasidim, specifically Satmar do not to go kivrei tzadikim. (See Kuntrus Al
HaGeula veal HaTmura) Siman 108 (page 166), that the whole inyan of going to
kivrei tzadikim was never a minhag in klal yisroel, except for big tzadikim
who knew the soydos of visiting by the kever, and could connect nefesh
l'nefesh to the nifter. But for us, who don't understand the whole inyan,
there is no point. (There is one exception to this, however, and that is
going to Rashb"i)
