"The minyan was originally formed
by a group of volunteers who started it
during the time their kids were in reli-

"They wanted there to be a place for
those observing a yahrtzeit or who were
in mourning."
According to Schwartz, who is the
synagogue's shivah committee chair, the
idea for the minyan came from Zacks.
"Geri recognized, by the questions
asked at many of the shivah homes, that

es have ended."
Paterni, who will walk at the relay in
memory of her in-laws and in honor of
her friend Pam, who survived cancer,
finds it important that the service also
includes a reading of names of those
who are ill.
"Almost everyone in our temple has
been touched by cancer," Terman said.
"For me, the relay was a way to honor
the survivors and memorialize our
loved ones." I I
