These photos are from a Genizah ceremony at our cemetery during which we buried worn prayerbooks, photocopies, and other sacred items. The objects for burial were brought in a procession of songs praising God’s Name to the Genizah under the chuppah canopy of a tallit. This shows the sacred relationship we have with the objects of our tradition, and the care with which we treat them.
