R
Gravesite Visits
Temple Israel's Robert Sosnick
Family Life Center will host its
annual program "Kever Avot: The
Graves of Our Ancestors" Sunday,
Sept. 17, sponsored by Ira Kaufman
Chapel in Southfield.
Just before Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur, volunteers accompany
residents of area assisted-liv-
ing facilities to local cemeteries
— keeping with the Jewish custom
of visiting the gravesites of loved
ones at this time.
Golf carts are made available in
those cases where the gravesites
are otherwise difficult to access.
Air-conditioned tour buses with
bathrooms are hired; and stones,
tissues, flowers, lunches, hand
wipes and prayer booklets are pre-
pared.
For information about par-
ticipating in Kever Avot, contact
Temple Israel's Robert Sosnick
Family Life Center, (248) 661-5700.

friendly people and a serious Kiddush.
