Yizkor/Memorial Book
An Updated Memory Book will be distributed at the Yizkor Memorial Service on Yom Kippur afternoon. Please clearly print your name, the name of the person(s) to remember, their date of death and their relationship to you. Return this page to Community Synagogue of Rye by August 15 by dropping it off at the Synagogue office, mailing to 200 Forest Avenue, Rye, NY 10580 or by taking a photo or scanning the page and emailing the photo or scan to Clergyassistant@comsynrye.org. We will publish this information in the Memory Book. |
Community Synagogue helps you to recall family and loved ones who have died. If you would like to remember your loved ones with the Jewish tradition of yahrzeit, please clearly print your name, the name of the person to remember, their date of death and their relationship to you on the form below. This will help us create the redesigned Memory Book that we will use on Yom Kippur.
According to Jewish tradition a mourner is someone who is the son, daughter, sister, brother, mother, father or spouse of the deceased. However, in today’s society, where the concept of family extends to many different relationships, it is also appropriate to say Kaddish for whomever one chooses. Therefore, please feel free to add names of those for whom you feel a close affinity but who might not be direct relatives.
One way to make a loved one’s memory “be for a blessing” is to give tzedakah. In Jewish tradition, we often refer to the number “18” or “chai” which means “life” when remembering happy and sad events. Contributions in multiples of 18 express our commitment to the values and the ideals of those we remember at this season. Of course, a gift of any amount will be gratefully received with your list.
Memorial Plaques
You may also wish to inscribe you loved ones names on a Memorial Plaque to be located in our newly renovated sanctuary. An inscription on a plaque ensures that your loved one’s name will be read on their yahrzeit date in perpetuity. If you wish to purchase a memorial plaque, please use the form below. If you have any questions, please call clergy assistant Jon Rekedal at 914-967-6262 or clergyassistant@comsynrye.org.
