The High Holidays are a time of memory and reflection, renewal and celebration. Many people spend time over the holidays thinking about their loved ones who have passed away. It is Jewish tradition to gather as a community and recall these beloved memories as a part of the holiday observance. This ensures the legacy of our loved ones’ stay alive and present.
With this in mind, we will be creating a Yizkor Memorial book containing the names of our community's loved ones who have passed away. The booklet will be distributed during Yom Kippur Yizkor Services, giving us the opportunity to memorialize those whom we lovingly remember at this time, as well as during Yizkor Services throughout the year - even if you cannot attend the service.
Having all these names compiled in one booklet, brings everyone together as one family and brings an added measure of dignity and merit to the souls of our loved ones.
We remember. We are inspired. And we pledge to do good in the merit of their souls. For this reason, the Yizkor service includes a pledge to tzedakah, charity, on behalf of the deceased’s souls. Your charity will go toward enriching the Jewish community of Savannah.
We will mention the names in the Yizkor booklet as a part of the Keil Malei prayer at each of this year’s Yizkor services.
Please complete the form below to include the names of your loved ones.
