Norfolk



The Day of Atonement, which begins at sundown tonight, is a 24-plus hour period of intense reflection, prayer and soul-searching that is the culmination of the annual Ten Days of Repentance that usher in the Jewish New Year. It can be a difficult time for many reasons, not the least of which is that one of the long-held rituals of the holiday season calls for visiting the gravesites of your loved ones.

The annual visit that I make to the graves of my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and my great uncles and aunts, can trigger sadness, but the visits do recharge the soul. The graves are located about 45 minutes from the Attleboros, at one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in the state, the Baker Street Cemetery, which is actually a collection of about two dozen cemeteries along a large stretch of land in the West Roxbury section of Boston. Many of the cemeteries are named after synagogues that no longer exist, but which had been a part of many generations until neighborhoods changed - and the houses of worship vanished into history.

Thankfully, that has not happened in Attleboro, where the cemetery and synagogue have been able to co-exist, and flourish, for nearly a century. On Sunday, the local Jewish community marked the rededication of the Congregation Agduas Achim Hebrew Cemetery in the city's Dodgeville area on the occasion of its 100th anniversary, and the synagogue will mark its centennial three years from now.
Join in children's program at Stony Brook

NORFOLK - Sidewalk minstrel Stephen Baird visits Stony Brook Wildlife Sanctuary for two afternoon weekend performances Saturday, Oct. 11 and Sunday, Oct, 19.

Baird's children's programs are highly interactive, family folk performances using guitars, dulcimers, mandolin and puppets. Audience members also dress up in costumes to participate in songs.

Also, walk the trails, and visit the Nature Center, where volunteers will be available with hands-on nature activities and demonstrations.

NORFOLK - The ratio of paying and non-paying students riding school buses is the opposite of the administration's initial estimate, Superintendent Don LeClerc told the school committee at its last meeting.

There are 566 students who live more than two miles from school and must be bused with no fee under state law, and 374 students living inside the two-mile zone who are paying.

That leaves about 200 students who are using other means of transportation to get to school.
