Picture
Will you join us for the traditional Kever Avot? It is the custom of visiting graves during the High Holy Days. You can take this opportunity to share a story about the person whose grave you are visiting. Kivod hamet is the mitzvah of honoring the deceased. Leave a pebble on the monument to commemorate the visit.
So -
Come visit - to reconnect, to remember and to proceed on to the fresh New Year,
L’shanah tovah tikatevu – may you be inscribed for a good, sweet, peaceful, healthy and meaningful 5786
