volunteers.
"It's a 'feel good' morning for
everyone involved," Techner said.
Fellows, working with fellow vol-
unteers Nadine and Harvey Miller
of West Bloomfield, found inspira-
tion in holding Beresh's arm, help-
ing her lay stones, hearing her say
prayers, and physically and emotion-
ally connecting at Machpelah
Cemetery in Ferndale.
Fellows looked forward to going
home and telling her four children,
ages 4-12, "what a nice thing" she
had done and how she had "started
the new year right."
A native Detroiter who wintered
with her late husband, Louis, in
Herzliya, Israel, for 10 years, Beresh,
84, lives at the Heritage in
Southfield. She said Kever Avot

"couldn't have been nicer. It was
such a relief having help finding the
stones of my father, mother and
brother and the rest of the family."
Her husband died in 1997, and is
buried in Israel.
Beresh had special praise for the
Kever Avot volunteers. "They were
jewels — so good and so coopera-
tive," she said. "I tried going to the
cemetery once by myself, but the
family plots were not in the same
place — in fact. some were way at
the back. So I said, This isn't for
me.
"Then I found out about Kever
Avot, and how it would take us to
see our relatives' graves right before
Yom Kippur. And I can't thank the
sponsors and volunteers enough. I
think it's just wonderful." 0
