I don't know where they are, but I assume it's in some cemetery of sorts.

What is the kiss of death?

Chazal tell us (need help with the source) that at least 3 people died "b'neshika" with a 'kiss' from God, Moshe, Aron and Miriam.

  1. What is exactly does this mean? I assume it isn't just a euphemism for a painless death
  2. Were there others who also "merited" this?
