May their souls be bound up in the bonds of eternal life.
We
remember with love, honour and affection.
for the victims of the October 7th Hamas attacks, the deceased hostages and those fallen in battle.
God, full of mercy, Who dwells on high, grant fitting rest on the wings of the Divine Presence — in the heights of the holy, the pure and the brave, who shine like the radiance of heaven — to the souls of the holy ones, residents of Israel — men, women, and children — who were killed, murdered, burned and slaughtered by the vile Hamas murderers, and who sacrificed their lives in the consecration of God’s name in the vicious attacks on the dwelling places of the State of Israel; and to the souls of the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces, the officers of the Israel Police, and the members of the security services who sacrificed their lives for the consecration of God’s name and died a heroic death in battles defending the people and the land. For this we pray for the ascent of their souls, may they rest in the Garden of Eden. Therefore, Master of Compassion, shelter them in the shadow of Your wings forever, and bind their souls in the bond of everlasting life. The Lord is their heritage. May they rest in peace and may they receive their reward at the End of Days. And let us say: Amen.
“Thus says the Lord: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children because they are no more.” Jeremiah 31:1 “

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His faithful ones.” Psalms 116:15
Adonai, what are human beings that You take account of them, mortals that You care for them? Humans are as a breath, their days like a passing shadow. In the morning they flourish anew, in the evening they shrivel and die. Teach us to count each day, that we may acquire a heart of wisdom. God is always before me, at my right hand, lest I fall. Therefore, I am glad, made happy, though I know that my flesh will lie in the ground forever. In this solemn hour consecrated to our beloved dead, we ponder over the flight of time, the frailty and uncertainty of human life. We ask ourselves: What are we? What is our life? To what purpose our wisdom and knowledge? Wherein is our strength, our power, our fame? Alas, man seems born to trouble, and his years are few and full of travail. But our great teachers have taught us to penetrate beneath appearances and see the higher worth, the deeper meaning, and the abiding glory of human life.
I have set the Lord before me always, God is at my right hand; I shall not fail. Therefore, my heart rejoices, my whole being exults, And my body rests secure
God of mercy, in whose hands are the souls of the living and the dead. We consecrate this hour to the memory of our dear ones who have been called by You to their heavenly and eternal reward.
Pained by our loss, children recall beloved parents who have been removed from the scene of their earthly existence. Husbands and wives recall the bonds of love and affection that united them in life and that now unite their souls.
Fathers and mothers recall precious children who, like tender flowers, were plucked ere they came to full bloom.
This very hour, dedicated to the memory of our loved ones, is at once a tribute to them, and a glorification of You. Tribute to them it is, because we now declare that their memory is not dimmed by the years, and that the passing of time enshrines it all the deeper in our hearts.
Glorification of You it is, because we here affirm that life does not end with the grave, and that dust is not the ultimate destiny of those who are made in Thine image.
Source of blessing, our Guardian and Hope, Bless, we pray, all who are dear to us.
Watch over them with Your protecting love.
Bless the people of this congregation.
Grant them health of body and serenity of spirit.
Guide them on the path of Torah and good deeds.
Bless our country, our leaders, and our fellow citizens. Keep us faithful to our heritage of freedom and justice.
Help us to banish all suffering and strife.
Bless our brothers and sisters in the Land of Israel.
Prosper the work of their hands and minds.
Strengthen them. and grant them peace.
Bless our fellow Jews, wherever they may dwell.
Comfort those who are in distress.
Deliver them speedily from darkness to light.
Bless all Your children, in every land and community. Unite them in understanding and mutual helpfulness. Hasten the day when all can rejoice in a world of peace.
Memorial prayer for a father
(insert name)
May God remember the soul of my father (insert name) who has gone to his eternal home. In loving testimony to his life, I pledge tz’dakah to help perpetuate ideals important to him. Through such deeds, and through prayer and remembrance, may his soul be bound up in the bond of life. May I prove myself worthy of the many gifts with which he blessed me. May these moments of meditation strengthen the ties that link me to his memory. May he rest in peace forever in God’s presence. Amen.
Memorial prayer for a mother
(insert name)
May God remember the soul of my dear and beloved mother (insert name) who has gone to her eternal home. In loving testimony to her life, I pledge tz’dakah to help perpetuate ideals important to her. Through such deeds, and through prayer and remembrance, may her soul be bound up in the bond of life. May I prove myself worthy of the many gifts with which she blessed me. May these moments of meditation strengthen the ties that link me to her memory. May she rest in peace forever in God’s presence. Amen.
Eternal God, we have come to sanctify our fleeting lives by linking them with Yours, Life of all Ages.
In You, generations past, present, and future are united in one bond of life.
At this sacred hour, we are aware of those souls through whom we have come to know of Your grace and love.
All the wisdom, beauty, and affection that have enriched our lives are the garnered fruits of our communion with others.
Many of those to whom we owe so much are alive with us today; and we pray that we may be able to reward their goodness and their devotion to us by acts of love and loyalty.
But others have passed forever from our midst, leaving us a heritage of tender memories which now fill our minds.
Some of us recall today beloved parents who watched over us, nursed us, guided us, and sacrificed for us.
Some of us lovingly call to mind a wife or a husband with whom we were truly united - in our hopes and our pains, in our failures and our achievements, in our joys and our sorrows.
Some of us remember brothers and sisters, who grew up together with us, sharing in the play of childhood, in the youthful adventure of discovering life’s possibilities, bound to us by a heritage of family tradition and by years of comradeship and love.
Some of us call to mind children, entrusted to our care all too briefly, taken from us before they reached the years of maturity and fulfillment, to whom we gave our loving care and from whom we received a trust which enriched our lives.
All of us recall beloved relatives and friends whose affection and devotion enhanced our lives, and whose visible presence will never return to cheer, encourage, or support us.
For our Communal Shaare Zedek Family
’El Maleh Rachamim’ - O God, full of mercy, who dwells on high, grant proper rest upon the wings of the Divine Presence, in the lofty heights of the holy and the pure ones who shine like the splendour of the firmament, for the souls of the beloved members of our holy congregation: Shaare Zedek, who have gone to their eternal home. As we pray for the memory of their souls, let their rest be in the Garden of Eden. Therefore, may the Master of mercy, shelter them in the shelter of His wings for eternity, and bind their souls in the bond of life. God is their heritage and let them rest upon their place of repose in peace. And let us say Amen.

Memorial Prayer for those slaughtered in the sanctification of God’s name and in battle of their country’s freedom
God, full of mercy, Who dwells on high, Grant proper rest on the wings of the Divine Presence in the great heights of the holy and pure ones, Who shine like the brightness of the heavens, To the souls of our brothers and sisters, Who were killed, slaughtered, burned, drowned, and strangled, For the sanctification of Your Name, By the hands of the Nazi murderers, And by those who helped them from other nations. Therefore, may the Master of Mercy Shelter them in the shadow of His wings for eternity, And bind their souls in the bond of life. The Lord is their inheritance. May they rest in peace on their resting places, And let us say: Amen.
“What we were unable to cry and shriek out to the world we buried in the ground… I would love to see the moment in which the great treasure will be dug up and scream the truth at the world. So the world may know all…May the treasure fall into good hands, may it last into better times, may it alarm and alert the world to what happened…in the twentieth century… We may now die in peace. We fulfilled our mission. May history attest to us.”

Psalm 23
A song of David.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He causes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.
Even as I walk in 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 set a table before me in the presence of my adversaries;
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 will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

“We
We gather as one people under the covenant’s weight, calling to mind the deeds of mercy, the miracles of old, “Yes, I will remember Your wonders, O LORD,” (Psalm 77:11) — in laughter, in mourning, in every shared breath.
We call the names of those who taught us Torah, who raised hands in blessings, bore burdens in silence, whose faith stood firm like a cedar in the wind, and whose absence echoes in our songs and our prayers.
“Comfort, comfort My people,” says our God, “Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, proclaim release, that her warfare is ended; that her iniquity is pardoned.” (Isaiah 40:1-2) We stand pennants of remembrance, grieving, yes—but believing in promise.
He will swallow up death forever; the Lord will wipe away tears from all faces. (Isaiah 25:8) May the tears of our loss become seeds of compassion, may memory become for us a holy altar, built not of stone but of love carried forward.
LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions, (LORD, remember those we love, their trials, their joys)— for they are part of our people, our story, our prayer. In our acts of kindness, in our voices lifted, they live on.
