The Yizkor prayers are said in the Synagogue on Yom Kippur, and on the last day of each of the Festivals of Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot. In these prayers we ask G‑d to 'remember' the souls of family and friends who have passed on. Attending a Yizkor service, and giving Tzedakah in their memory, provides us with a special opportunity to connect with our loved ones.
Memory is especially powerful when the past becomes an inspiration. When we remember them in our physical life, their life is not just a passive memory, rather they become an active and eternal source of inspiration to us. For those who have passed on, they merit the continuous impact in both the physical world and the spiritual world-to-come from our good deeds.
For this reason, part of the Yizkor service includes a pledge to charity in your loved one's memory and in benefit of their soul in Heaven.
Please note that due to the ever increasing list of names, we will no longer read all the names out loud. Instead the Yizkor Book of names will be kept on the Bimah next to the Torah where a Kel Malei prayer will be said on behalf of those inscribed in the Book.
All names must be submitted by Tuesday, September 24th.
