Dear Members,
We are pleased to announce that we will be publishing the tenth edition of the YIWH Yizkor Book for the coming year. The Yizkor Book serves as a way to more visibly commemorate the memory of our departed loved ones,
Alehem Hashalom, as well as assisting in fulfilling our obligation of Tzedakah in their memory. The Tzedakah raised by this project goes directly to funding many of the existing services provided by the Young Israel as well as supporting new programs.
As in previous years, the new edition of the Yizkor Book will be published in time for use on Yom Kippur and will be used through Shavuot. In this book, the names of loved ones for whom Yizkor is recited can be inscribed for a nominal fee. In addition, the book will also contain the Tefilot, Yizkor participants recite during the Yizkor service, those said by the entire Congregation for remembering Holocaust victims and the fallen Israeli Defense Forces members as well as those said during a cemetery visit.
The cost for each listing will remain the same as last year in the hopes that as many members as possible will be able to participate. The charge for the first listing is $18, which includes both the donor’s family name and the name of the person being remembered. Each additional name to be remembered is $10. Please keep in mind that a listing of “Mr. and Mrs.” is considered two names. Full-page listings are available for a cost of $180.
Important note: If you participated in last year’s Yizkor Book, your listing will automatically be included in the new edition and you will be charged the same amount as last year. No action is required on your part if there are no changes to last year’s listing.
However, if you no longer wish to participate, or if you would like to make changes to last year’s listing, please complete the form below no later than August 31th, 2011 in order to be guaranteed inclusion in the new edition.
Please feel free to contact any member of the committee with any questions you may have or

Thank you,
