PROUD TO PARTNER WITH THE JEWISH HOSPICE & CHAPLAINCY NETWORK
56 | OCTOBER 3 • 2019
“The mitzvah of a lifetime” is the perfect
way to describe the program, Kever Avot:
The Graves of our Ancestors. Presented by
Temple Israel’
s Robert Sosnick Family Life
Center and sponsored by the Ira Kaufman
Chapel, Kever Avot just marked 22 years.
Each fall before Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur, more than 150 volunteers
accompany residents of area senior living
facilities to visit 12 local cemeteries. This is
in keeping with the Jewish custom of vis-
iting our loved one’
s gravesites during the
period leading up to the High Holy Days.
“Without this incredible program and all
our dedicated staff and volunteers, many
of these seniors would have no way to
visit their loved ones,
” said Kari Provizer,
LMSW
, ACSW
, Sosnick center director.
Throughout the day, residents share
laughter, tears and memories of their loved
ones as well as form new friendships with
their volunteer and other seniors.
