INTRODUCTION TO THE YIZKOR MEMORIAL SERVICE The Yizkor Memorial Service is a unique ritual of public worship. It combines the private personal prayers for our own beloved dead with the collective public recitation of prayers for all martyrs and saints and heroes of our faith and our people all through the ages. While there are four scheduled Yizkor Memorial Services throughout the year, the most widely observed - and one of the high points in the all day worship of the Day of Atonement - is the Yom Kippur Yizkor Memorial Hour. It is the time for every member of every congregational family in the vast household of Israel to pray together and to share together the cup of sorrow. The custom of absenting one’s self from the Yizkor Memorial Service because one’s parents are living has long outlived its original medieval meaning. For not only should all of us join in the public recollection of Israel’s martyrs and saints and heroes (even if we are still blessed with living parents), but is it not incumbent upon each and every one of us to recite a prayer of remembrance for the millions who were but recently cut off from the Household of Israel, and for whom there is no one left to recite the Yizkor?

THE MEANING OF YAHRZEIT (ANNIVERSARY OF A DEATH OBSERVANCE) The observance of the anniversary of a death goes back to Talmudic times. From those days down to the present, it has been customary to observe the day solemnly and to avoid feasting and celebration. The practice of kindling a Yahrzeit light in the home on the anniversary of the death is a universal one. The obligation to be present in the Synagogue to memorialize the departed on the Yahrzeit is a religious duty. The religious value of the Yahrzeit is in the spiritual link between each of us and our departed. Liberal Judaism sees in the Yahrzeit observance a moment of pause from the cares and anxieties of the world, when our beloved live again in the communion of prayer. We, of Temple Beth Sholom, recall our beloved in the fellowship of other worshippers on Friday evening and Shabbat morning in our Sanctuary. We gain strength as we praise God’s name in the Kaddish prayer for the gift of their lives. In our homes, we kindle the Yahrzeit light, a symbol of the faith and hope that does not falter. Many, on the occasion of a Yahrzeit, contribute to a worthy religious cause within the Temple, strengthening the work of our congregation. Thus, we build a bridge of sighs between the land of the living and the land of eternal life.

THE 23RD PSALM A Song of David. Eternal One, You are my shepherd, I shall not want. You make me lie down in green pastures, You lead me beside still waters. You restore my soul; You guide me in paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake. Even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; with rod and staff You comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil, my cup is overflowing. Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in Your house for ever.

BLESSED IS THE MATCH Blessed is the match that is consumed in kindling flame. Blessed is the flame that burns in the secret places of the heart. Blessed is the heart with strength to stop its beating for honor’s sake. Blessed is the match that is consumed in kindling flame. ……Hannah Senesch

YIZKOR FOR ISRAELI SOLDIERS May God remember the sons and daughters of Israel, the faithful and the brave soldiers of the Zva Hagana Le-Yisrael (The Defense Forces of Israel), and the underground fighters and the fighting units in the ranks of the people who risked their lives in the struggle for the existence of Israel. May Israel remember and be blessed with its children and mourn for the youthful radiance and the heroic desire and the holy will and the dedication which were destroyed in the heavy battle. May the heroes of the wars of Israel, crowned with victory, be sealed in the heart of Israel forever.

PRAYERS FOR THE MARTYRS, SAINTS AND HEROES OF ISRAEL May God be mindful of the souls of all our brothers and sisters, departed members of the House of Israel who sacrificed their lives for the sanctification of Thy Holy Name and the honor of Israel. Grant that their heroism and selfsacrificing devotion find response in our hearts and the purity of their souls be reflected in our lives. May their souls be bound up in the bonds of eternal life, an everlasting blessing among us. Amen.

MEMORY IS LIFE Eternity exists because there is memory. Wherever deeds are recalled and the intensity of life is heightened, there can be found the worthwhileness of the human drama. If we walk in steps trod by others, if we grow in the sunlight of men, women and children who once planned and dreamed, memory becomes the invisible corridor joining together past, present and future. We record names in sacred places; we recall loved ones in hallowed moments. Memory, however, teaches us not only what to remember but also what to forget, how to forget hates and hurts; how to forget the bumps and the bruises of life. Memory provides us with the joy of going on despite the heaviness of the heart.

WE REMEMBER At the rising of the sun and at its going down we remember them. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter we remember them. At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring we remember them. At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer we remember them. At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn we remember them. At the beginning of the year and when it ends we remember them. As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them. When we are weary and in need of strength we remember them. When we are lost and sick at heart we remember them. When we have joy we crave to share we remember them. When we have decisions that are difficult to make we remember them. When we have achievements that are based on theirs we remember them. As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.

May their Memory be a Blessing
