Last
week, Dignity Memorial providers Weinstein Funeral Home, Piser Funeral Services
and Memorial Park Cemetery sponsored a Geniza ceremony – a Jewish ritual in
which used books, clothing and other items are donated by members of the
community and buried in a sacred place to benefit both the community and future
generations. More than four tons of books and religious material were donated
to be buried at the Geniza. The children of Keshet – a leading provider of educational, recreational, vocational and social
programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities – also participated in the ritual by assisting with the burial of
the donated items. To help promote the Geniza to Chicago’s North Shore
community, LCWA secured 22 placements in priority local media
outlets. Calendar listings for the Geniza – as well as post-event
coverage – appeared in publications including the Pioneer
Press, Chicago
Jewish News and Skokie
Patch.
