Yizkor Memorial Service
1. Yom Kippur, Shabbat, October 12, 2024
Service will be held at 12:00PM
2. Shmini Atzeret, Thursday October 24, 11:15AM
We are approaching the High Holidays, a time when Yizkor, memorial prayers, are recited.
With this in mind, we are offering you an opportunity to honor the memories of beloved relatives or friends by having their names mentioned at the Yizkor service.
Yizkor services will be held September 25th at approx. 12:00 pm at Chabad
This year, if you're unable to attend Yom-Kippur service by person, You'll recite Yizkor privately at home, secure in the knowledge that that is what G‑d wants from us right now, taking comfort in knowing that our loved ones would surely want us to stay safe.
(Note that this is not the case for Kaddish, which may not be recited privately.)
This may be obvious, but it is worth mentioning: The Yizkor prayer asks that G‑d bring benefit to the souls of our loved ones in the merit of charity we pledge. Even though you will pledge at home this year, our communal organizations can use donations now, more than ever. You may give that Tzedakah (after the holiday, of course).
How to observe Yizkor:
1. Light a Memorial candle before the holiday begins
2. Pledge to charity in memory of loved ones.
3. Recite the Yizkor (page 338 in your prayer book).
