In Jewish tradition, remembering our loved ones is something we carry deeply - in our hearts, in our prayers, and in the good we do in their names. During Yizkor, pledging tzedakah is a meaningful way to create a lasting connection with those we remember.
Each name recorded in the pages of our Yom Kippur Memorial Book is a tribute to those we cherish. It’s a simple yet powerful way to keep their names, stories, and spirit close to us as we gather together, bound by shared experiences of remembrance.
This year, in addition to the individual name listings, we are also offering memorial dedications. The dedications are available as quarter pages, half pages, and full pages, and allow you the option to include a personal message. FORMS MUST BE SUBMITTED BY FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 2025 FOR
