YIZKOR BOOK of REMEMBRANCE 5773 FORM  – Our tradition teaches that there is not a wall a between the living and the dead, but a window that allows us to continue to see the impact our loved ones have had on us. The Yizkor service, especially as it is experienced on the afternoon of Yom Kippur, creates a sacred time and space that encourages the opening of our hearts and minds to the memories of loved ones who have passed over to a place beyond our world.

This year as part of our Yizkor service, we will continue our special practice of reciting out loud all of the names that have been placed in our Book of Remembrance.  We believe that hearing the names of those now departed from our lives can revive and refresh our memories of them, a source of blessing for us.

We invite you to include the name or names of your loved ones in this special service.  Click Here to include names online, or on the link above, Yizkor Book of Remembrance 5773 form.  Please return this form by Tuesday, September 4, 2012.  Please call the office at (954) 564-9232 if you have any questions or concerns about the deadline for inclusion.
