ELKHART, Ind. -- The Elkhart County Historical Museum and the Michiana Jewish Historical Society teaming up this afternoon to offer a program at the Hebrew Orthodox Cemetery in Mishawaka, focusing in on the rituals and meaning of Jewish burial.
The joint event explored traditions that go back thousands of years and explained the special and ritualistic way that Jewish people are buried.
"In a world where tradition can even be frowned upon, let alone something that people aren't fully committed to, it is important to spread what tradition looks like and why it's important to the community," stated Administrator of the Hebrew Orthodox Cemetery Association Bekki Lindow.
People at the program were provided with the unique opportunity to ask more questions about the Jewish burial process, which often gets overlooked in the modern day.
