YIZKOR 5781
Yizkor is soon approaching, a time when we honor the memory of our loved ones. Yom Kippur Yizkor Services will take place on Monday morning, September 28th and Shemini Atzeret Yizkor Services will take place on Saturday morning, October 10th.
Our Congregational Yizkor Book will be published to bring focus to the names of our dear family and loved ones. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the Yizkor Book will be available to the Congregation for distribution via mail or pick up at the synagogue. The entire Yizkor Book will also be available electronically on our website.
To ensure that the names of your loved ones will be memorialized in our 5781 Yizkor Book, please complete your Yizkor Book form online at www.bethyeshurun.org/yizkor. Paper forms have also been mailed to your home and should be arriving within the next week. Paper forms must arrive in the synagogue office by Friday, August 21, 2020. Names received after August 21, 2020 might not be printed in the memorial book, but will be included in the online version of the book available on the Beth Yeshurun website as well as the printed addendum.
Also included, is the form for the Reverent Tribute section of our Yizkor Book, which is dedicated to the members of Beth Yeshurun, of blessed memory, who served in the United States military to protect our freedom. Please list the name(s) of your loved ones who you wish to include in the Reverent Tribute section in the back of the Yizkor book.
Please return either or both of these forms by Friday, August 21, 2020. Your forms may be completed online at www.bethyeshurun.org/yizkor or may be mailed to the synagogue, care of Jennifer Sutton.
