The MLJC has purchased cemetery plots in the Buena Vista Cemetery in Murphys, in order to create a Jewish
Cemetery. Now, it may be too early to think about this, but it doesn't hurt. If you are a resident of the hiway 4
corridor in Calaveras County, you are eligible. The plots are very inexpensive right now, so think about it, and
call Ron Schaner if interested, 795-3530, or schaner@sbcglobal.net.

Save the Date for the Passover Seder: April 23rd, 5 pm, Lion's Hut in Murphys.
We will have the traditional cooking party on April 22nd, 1 pm, at the Ormans' .
More information soon.

interest, you can now buy your plots from the MLJC. Others who are interested and live in the cemetery district
can be on a waiting list. Please contact Rodger Orman, rodgero1@comcast.net.

will be a special email list for those who are interested in cultural, religious, or spiritual events not put on by the
