Our Yom Kippur Memorial Booklet includes prayers from the Yizkor liturgy along with listings of dearly departed loved ones to be memorialized. The Yizkor Memorial Service on Yom Kippur will occur this year during the morning service on September 25th, 2023, Yom Kippur day. All Memorial Book listings must be submitted by September 5th, 2023.
Please review your listing and fill out the attached form. We suggest a donation of $7 per name memorialized. Those who wish to give an additional Thanksgiving Offering will also be listed on a separate page of the memorial booklet. Donations can be made via check & mailed to the shul, or online via Zelle Bank Transfer or PayPal.
A YAHRZEIT MEDITATION
Eternal God, as we honor the memory of our dearly departed loved ones, we recall the trials and joys, happy moments and times of sorrow that we experienced together. These memories form a bond between us that time cannot erase. Grant that the memories evoked by Yahrzeit observance brings us solace in moments of loneliness, and that those memories inspire us to become more closely united with those who remain and face the years to come with courage. As we honor the bond between the living and those who no longer walk the earth, I pray that all their souls may be bound up in the bond of eternal life.
