Sharey Tefilah Cemetery	Some old, close friends of Temple Beth Avodah in Newton were laid to rest last weekend after imparting their wisdom to youngsters in the congregation one final time. Dozens of tattered prayer books and other sacred objects were buried in a plain pine casket … during the first genizah-burial service in the synagogue’s history last Sunday morning. The synagogue conducted the service to show children Jewish funeral rituals in a non-threatening setting, as well as to discard its unusable sacred objects property.	West Roxbury, MA	May 10, 1996
