BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE CONGREGATION B'NAI ISRAEL 5784 2023

"Looking backward, we recall our ancestry. Looking forward, we confront our destiny. Looking backward, we reflect on our origins. Looking forward, we choose our path. Remembering that we are a tree of life, not letting go, holding on, and holding to, we walk into an unknown, beckoning future, with our past beside us."

Yizkor means "may [God] remember," from the Hebrew root zachor. It is recited four times a year in the synagogue: on Yom Kippur, the end of Sukkot, the end of Passover and on Shavuot.

Today, we publish lists of those who are remembered by congregants, which are distributed at the Yizkor service. It is during this service that we yearn for those we loved, we long to have them close to us for yet another challenge in our lives, yet another joy, yet another precious moment together. God be with us as our hearts are broken; console us at this hour. May the memory of our departed loved ones endure among us as a blessing.

THE MEANING OF KADDISH

The Kaddish Prayer so warmly, so inexorably, woven into the tapestry of mourning is essentially not a prayer for our departed. It is a prayer in praise of God. Not one word of the Aramaic, in which it is written, has even the slightest connection with cessation of life. Having its origins in the days of the great assemblies of Rabbis, the creators of the Mishna and Talmud, the prayer was originally recited at the conclusion of the study of a portion of sacred writing. Gradually, the practice developed of reciting the Kaddish at the conclusion of a great scholar’s life as he completed “his own book of life with its sacred teachings.” Soon, however, the alchemy of equality worked its leaven into this practice so that by the Tenth Century it became the custom to recite the Kaddish at the termination of all persons’ lives.

No experience in Jewish life today equals the emotional magnetism of the duty to recite Kaddish for a lost member of the family. The sentimental associations strike deep and meaningful roots and reflect Judaism’s sage counsel regarding death and immortality. As we praise God in life, for life, so do we praise God in life for death, the necessary complement of life. It is not merely that man has a soul, man is a soul. Immortality is not a place, it is an imperishable state of being. The real is spiritual and the spiritual is real. At the very moment when what is most difficult is to thank God, Judaism says extol His name, sing of His wonderful ways, thank Him for the privilege of sharing a life. At a time when one’s faith in God is most challenged, the Kaddish says to us: reaffirm your faith in Him, in your world, and in your ability to see beyond the day’s pain.

Tomorrow is never without hope. For life itself is Kadosh-holy. Mind is eternal; personality, character have no end.

“Magnified and sanctified be His name…”

“May the source of peace send peace to all who mourn and comfort all the bereaved among us.”

MEDITATION UPON KINDLING THE

YAHRZEIT LIGHT

I give thanks for the blessing of life, of companionship, and of memory. Though my loved one is beyond my sight, I do not despair, for I sense my beloved in my heart as a living presence.

[Psalm 23 or another favorite passage from the Bible or prayer book may be recited.]

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. God makes me to lie down in green pastures; God leads me beside the still waters. God restores my soul; O God, You guide me in straight paths for Your name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

As this light burns pure and clear, so may the blessed memory of the goodness of my dear loved one, illumine my soul.

The light is kindled

Zichrono (Zichrona) liv’ra-cha May his (her) memory be for a blessing.
