Honor the memory of a loved one by dedicating a memorial plaque in his or her memory. We have two areas where this can be done: the Alice G. Winn Memorial Menorah is located along the rear wall of the Sanctuary, and these memorial plaques are made from glass and hung once a year during the summer. The Harry N. and Estelle S. Gorin Memorial Alcove surrounds one of the entrance doors to the Sanctuary, and these plaques are made from bronze and can be hung all year round.
Once a plaque is ordered, Temple Israel will perpetually read the name of the deceased during Shabbat services on the anniversary of death. Family members will receive notification of this date in advance of the
yahrzeit.
All names on plaques are included in the annual Yom Kippur
Book of Remembrance
distributed to the congregation on Yom Kippur.
A contribution of $650 to the Temple Israel Endowment Fund will secure a plaque in either the Alcove or on the Menorah. For further information, please email or call
Sue
at 617-566-3960.
