Temple Emanu-El Happenings
Highlights
Yizkor Book
Order By: Friday, August 27th

The Yizkor (memorial) service, at the conclusion of Yom Kippur (as well as Shavuot and Passover), enables us to remember, in a communal setting, our loved ones who have died. We lend merit to them by living ethically, morally and Jewishly, and by being sensitive to those around us.

Traditionally, the formal expression of Yizkor (remembering the dead) is prayer (Kaddish) and donations in their memory (Yizkor Book). The Temple Emanu-El Yizkor Book is an opportunity to fulfill this mitzvah.
