Yizkor is recited four times a year: Yom Kippur, Shemini Atzeret, the eighth day of Pesach, and the second day of Shavuoth. Contrary to popular belief, Yizkor should be said during the first year of mourning. Yizkor service is a series of memorial prayers and is again designed as a goad to memory and as an affirmation of continuity.

Yarzheit Plaque

If you wish to create a permanent remembrance to a loved one, you may wish to have their name commemorated on one of our Yarzheit Plaques. The light will be lit every year of their yahrzeit, which provides a certain comfort to those remaining. A form to request a Yarzheit Plaque can be printed from this site by clicking here or please contact our Temple Office at 496-9100 Ext 120 for further information.
