Yizkor -- Remembrance -- links us to our past. A major synagogue ritual is to foster the perpetuation of memory of loved ones by reciting the Mourner's Kaddish as part of our Minyan. This sacred act can be permanently maintained by our congregation through the purchase of a Memorial Plaque on our Yahrzeit Board, which is then lit on the Yahrzeit (anniversary of the date of death) and at those worship services when Yizkor is recited. Please consider so memorializing a dear-one.
To purchase a plaque contact the office .
(plaques are available to members only)
