Kever Avot
Sunday, September 10, 2023 at 11:00 AM at Beth Shalom Cemetery
Kever Avot, the tradition of visiting the graves of our parents and loved ones between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, can evoke a wealth of emotions and memories.
We will meet at Beth Shalom Cemetery (420 Otter Creek Road, Oregon, Ohio) where Hazzan Lichterman will assist those wanting special memorial prayers recited at the graves of their loved ones. If there is inclement weather, we will meet in the Chapel followed by Hazzan Lichterman visiting individual graves at the cemetery.
Tashlich
Rosh Hashanah - Day 1: Saturday, September 16, 2023 at 5:15 PM at the JCC Pond
On or before Rosh Hashanah it is tradition to go to a river or spring (preferably one that has fish in it) and recite special penitential prayers. Tossing bread crumbs in the water is symbolic of casting away our sins and starting a new year with a clean slate.
Bring your own bread and meet us at the lake behind the campus.
