JCAM’s Annual Cemetery Book Burial
& Educational Tour Set for October 10, 2010
10 am – King Solomon Memorial Park Cemetery
2960 Centre St., West Roxbury
JCAM invites the community to be part of the meaningful and educational experience of a Jewish book burial. This year's event will be held at the King Solomon Memorial Park Cemetery at 2960 Centre Street in West Roxbury. Click here or on the name above for complete directions.
This event allows the community to witness and participate in the depth and importance of Jewish communal responsibility, and to learn about the proper handling of Jewish artifacts, prayer books and other shammot for burial.
This is a unique Jewish tradition—one that truly doesn’t happen everyday! After the book burial, all are invited to participate in a “Cemeteries Are for the Living educational tour to learn the cultural significance of this historic Jewish cemetery, headstone symbols and their meanings, Jewish burial customs, rituals, and much more!
Please RSVP to Lisa Berenson at 617-244-6509 or email: lisaberenson@jcam.org if you are planning on attending.
Please do not bring any boxes of books for burial unless you have made arrangements with the JCAM office in advance! All materials must be in cardboard boxes or paper bags. An $18/per box donation is suggested, payable to JCAM.
