Yahrzeit
One of the most widely observed Jewish rituals is the lighting of a candle and saying the Mourner’s Kaddish on the yahrzeit of a loved one. Though the literal translation of the Yiddish word yahrzeit means “time of year,” it is understood to refer to the anniversary on the Hebrew calendar of an individual’s death.
At our weekly services, the yahrzeit list for that week is read. The list includes names of people whose yahrzeit falls from that Saturday through the following Friday.
Honor your loved one’s memory by purchasing a Yahrzeit plaque. Yahrtzeit plaques are displayed on Memorial Boards in our Small Sanctuary (Beit Midrash). To purchase a Yahrtzeit plaque, please click here to fill out our on-line form.
