Flags for Memorial Day
 
On Memorial Day, a United States flag is traditionally placed on the graves of those who served our country. If you would like to assist in the placing of flags at Chesterland Memorial Park, or would like to help the JWV at other cemeteries, contact Bernice Rothman (440-449-0172). If you would like to help at Bet Olam Cemetery, contact Murray Berkowitz
(216- 342-4759). This is both a mitzvah and a good patriotic learning experience for children, one in which the whole family can participate.
