Beth Shalom Progressive Congregation

On Monday 30 November Naomi, Chris M and Jessamie, Chris S, Terry H, Bill and Eileen and Trudi met at Phillip Gordon’s beautiful property to bury all the books and liturgical material we had been collecting for a respectful burial. Phillip had kindly offered a spot on his land for this to take place and had already had a very big hole dug before COVID struck which had delayed this happening. We lined the book grave with a large sheet, emptied box after box of books into the grave and then covered the pile with another sheet. Pam had put together a lovely service which we read and Chris M recited the Rabbi’s Kaddish. Then the big job of covering the books with soil took place. The photos show the effort that went into it with Phillip at the helm.

It was a very moving experience for all of us to bury these books. What is more there is space to repeat it in future years. Phillip then served us with a wonderful lunch which was a delicious cooked meal. Phillip said he felt very blessed to be able to offer his property for this ritual and felt deeply touched by the team coming to his place and being able to offer everyone a meal. We were lucky with the weather, the rain holding off till we were well on our way back home. ... See MoreSee Less
