The High Holiday Season, when we consider the meaning and purpose of our lives, is the perfect time to remember those who had such an impact upon us. For this reason, it is a popular custom to visit cemeteries between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. This custom, called kever avot (literally, graves of our parents), is an opportunity to raise, remember and celebrate the souls of those who are no longer with us and reflect upon our own mortality and our role in this life. Join us as we come together in memory and prayer, and light a yahrtzeit candle for those who brought life and light into our lives.

Greater Miami Jewish Federation chaplains and local clergy will join us and be available to provide resources and support.
