NOVI CEMETERY
PLANS KEVER AVOT

Bnai Israel Gardens had its first burial
in the 1980s and is among the new-
est Jewish cemeteries in the area.
It is now under new ownership by
Midwest Memorial Group (MMG),
which is committed to making Bnai
Israel Gardens a place of reverence
and respect for loved ones.
Kever avot, translated as “grave of
the fathers,” is the tradition of visiting
gravesites during the month of Elul
and during the High Holiday season.
Visiting graves allows Jews to connect
with the past, contemplate life, live
spiritually, soul search and provides a
sense of renewal.
On Sunday, Oct. 9, Bnai Israel
Gardens, 43300 W. 12 Mile in Novi,
part of Oakland Memorial Gardens,
will be conducting its first community
kever avot v’imahot (and mothers) ser-
vice at 12:30 p.m. It will be conducted
by Rabbi Joseph Krakoff of Jewish
Hospice & Chaplaincy Network.
The Mourners Kaddish and El
Maleh Rachamin, along with other
prayers, will be recited. The service
will conclude with the blowing of the
shofar. Afterward, Krakoff will be
available to do individual prayers for
families.
The community is invited. For
information, call the cemetery at
(248) 349-2784.
