Genizah Burial Event

Sunday, September 15, 2024 12 Elul 5784

3:00 PM - 4:00 PMBeit Olamim cemetery at Sunset Memory Gardens, 7302 Mineral Point Rd., Madison, WI 53717

Join us at Beit Olamim cemetery as we learn about burying the genizah (repository of sacred objects) and bury a collection of sacred texts.

The Talmud stipulates that all sacred texts should be preserved in a place where they cannot be destroyed. This includes all texts that include God's name. Temple Beth El has collected many books over the years, and we are grateful to the Jewish Burial Association of Madison for the donation of a burial plot at Beit Olamim cemetery, to Sunset Memorial Gardens for the donation of a vault and for the services they provide for opening and closing the plot, and to Jeff and Marv Levy for donating funds for the second vault needed for the large number of books we are burying.

Please join Rabbi Jon Prosnit and Cantor Jacob Niemi as we learn about this ritual life-cycle event.
