Burial Shemoth – Nov. 2, 2008 at 10:00 am -In the Jewish tradition, we show
respect for texts containing God’s name (known as shemoth, “names”) by burying
them. The Ottawa Jewish Cemeteries in cooperation with the Beth Shalom
Congregation will provide the Jewish Community the opportunity to bury
old siddurim, humashim, and other religious items no longer in use in one
of the gravesites in the Bank Street Cemetery. The gravesite will be located
at the rear of Section 9. We hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity.
