Yahrzeit

You are invited and encouraged to let us know the name and yahrzeit of your loved ones who have departed from us. We will honor their memory by announcing their name during services on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. May you be comforted among all the mourners of Israel.

In Jewish tradition, when the year of mourning is over, mourners are expected to return to a fully normal life. There are several occasions each year when our loved ones who have passed on are memorialized. The most significant of these is yahrzeit, the anniversary of the death, which is observed according to the Hebrew calendar. As is the case in all Jewish holy days, yahrzeit observance begins at night. A 24-hour candle is lit and one may attend services to recite the Kaddish (the memorial prayer). It is traditional to avoid attending any celebrations or parties on the day of yahrzeit, and some people fast on that day.
