Yizkor Book 5778 / 2017
We are pleased to announce that we will be publishing the 5778 / 2017 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 that 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.
Important note: If you participated in last year’s Yizkor Book (visible at the bottom of this page), your listing will automatically be included in the new edition; 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 24th in order to be guaranteed inclusion in the new edition.
Contribution:
♦ Full Page: $180
♦ Individual First Listing: $25
♦ Each Additional Individual Listing: $10
♦ A listing of “Mr. and Mrs.” is considered two names (a First Listing and an Additional Listing)
