Congregation Sinai Yizkor Book 5786
Yizkor means “we remember” and its primary purpose is to honor loved ones we have lost over the years. There is a Jewish tradition of giving charity in memory of a loved one, based on the theory that the good deeds of the survivors elevate the souls of the departed. In this spirit, we hope you will continue to remember your loved ones in our 5786 Yizkor Book.
Each year, Congregation Sinai creates a Yizkor Book which is used during the 4 festival holiday services - Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Pesach and Shavuot. The book also includes the Mourner’s Kaddish and a list of the names engraved on our permanent memorial sculpture which hangs in Sinai’s foyer. The Jewish Festival observances begin this year with the Yizkor Service on Yom Kippur Thursday, October 2.
We are changing our process and using ShulCloud this year. If you would like to honor your loved ones in the Yizkor Book this year, please complete the following form by September 4:
You can type that web address into a web browser or find the link in your Enews.
If you have any questions, please call the Sinai office at (414) 352-2970.
If you are interested in honoring your loved ones by adding their name to our permanent memorial sculpture, please email Karen Berk (kberk@congregationsinai.org).
