Kever Avot Memorial Services &
Cemetery Hours
Jews worldwide mark the approaching High Holy Days with annual visits to the graves of departed loved ones. An ancient custom, Kever Avot, literally “graves of the fathers,” dates almost as far back as Jews themselves. Gathering at the grave facilitates healing within families by creating an opportunity to grant forgiveness to one another. Others visit graves to connect with their past and to contemplate the life they want to live. The Adas Israel Kever Avot schedule is as follows:
Kever Avot Memorial Cemetery Service
Sunday, September 9 at 10:00 am
Adas Israel Cemetery – 1400 Alabama Avenue, SE, Washington, DC
With Rabbi Gil Steinlauf
Bus leaves from the congregation at 9:00 am. Call Carol Ansell at the synagogue office, 202-362-4433, to reserve a seat. Space is limited.
Judean Memorial Gardens Kever Avot Service
Sunday, September 23 at 10:30 am
With Rabbi Charles Feinberg
The Adas Israel Cemetery on Alabama Avenue will be open on Sunday, September 9 from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm. If you wish to visit at any other times, please call Carole Klein at 202-362-4433 x157.
May the memory of your loved ones forever be a blessing and inspiration.
