Kay Goldberg
SHIVA
Since we are unable to have a traditional in-person Jewish Shiva (the gathering to mourn), we will congregate online via Zoom. We will offer two Shiva dates: Tuesday, August 18th and Wednesday, August 19th both from 5:30pm-7pm. Both days are open to anyone who would like to attend. Feel free to bring a glass of wine or any other beverage to toast Kay's memory. The Rabbi will first lead us in the Mourner's Kaddish and then we will open it up for remembrances. If you have a story to share, we would love to hear it; if you would like to just listen, we'd love to see your face. There is no pressure to speak or to stay the entire time. Please do what's best for you. Whether you knew my mom well or are just coming to support us, your presence is sure to bring a smile our way. John and Rhonda Gentry (Kay's niece and nephew) will be "Zoommasters" and will call on people to speak. Please direct message to John (via the Zoom chat) to let him know your interest in saying a few words. In order to allow time for everyone, please limit your remarks to under 3 minutes.SHIVA
