An Exploration of Judaism and End-of-Life Practices
Congregation Beth Torah has provided Kol Ami members the opportunity to purchase cemetery lots at Mount Moriah in Beth Torah’s section. Please contact Rabbi Alpert (dougalpert@kolamikc.com) or Wynne Begun (wynnebegun@gmail.com) if you have any questions or would like more information about this purchase.
During the next two months, Beth Torah is holding the following informative and thought-provoking events and has invited Kol Ami members to attend. Please note that at the conclusion of the events, the cost of the cemetery lots will increase. Both events will be held at:
