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.
