Temple Israel's Robert Sosnick
Family Life Center will hold its
annual program Kever Avot: The
Graves of Our Ancestors. It is
scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 25, and
is sponsored by the Ira Kaufman
Chapel, Southfield.
Just before Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur, volunteers accompany
residents of area assisted-living facili-
ties to local cemeteries, keeping with
the Jewish custom of visiting the
gravesites of loved ones at this time.
Prior to the day of the program,
volunteers are recruited, information
from prospective participants
regarding the sites to be visited is
secured and the cemeteries are
informed so the appropriate graves
are marked. Golf carts are made
available in those cases where the
gravesites are difficult to access. Air-
conditioned tour buses with bath-
rooms are hired, and stones, tissues,
flowers, lunches, hand wipes and
prayer booklets are prepared. On the
morning of the program, volunteers
gather to assist the Kever Avot par-
ticipants.
