Har Nebo
B"H
Today (Tuesday) is the 7th Adar and we are celebrating the birthday as well as the Yahrzeit (the day someone passed away) of Moshe Rabbeinu. It is said that he died at the age of 120 years. Until today, we don't know the exact place of his grave, as G - d didn't want the Jews making pilgrimages to Moshe's grave and maybe start worshipping him.
And as the location of Moshe's grave is unknown, it is customary to remember other people who passed away and their relatives don't know the exact location of their burial place. Holocaust victims, for instance or people whose grave might be in the ocean.
