Yahrtzeit Board
Virtual yahrzeit board
Honor your loved ones by dedicating a plaque on our virtual Yahrzeit board. Each name is remembered and honored in prayer throughout the year, particularly on their Yahrzeit, and at Yizkor (Memorial) Services, when Rabbi Becker recites the Kel Maleh prayer for those whose names are on the board.
What is a yahrzeit?
A Yahrzeit is the personal Yom Kippur for the "neshama" (the soul). Each Yom Kippur we, the living, are judged for how we lived during the past year. Likewise, on the soul's personal Yom Kippur each year, the soul is judged for what happened during the past year with the legacy it left on earth.

- What kind of lives are they leading?
- And what is the continuing impact of the good deeds that were performed during physical life?

Judaism provides us with a gift. We not only have a special day to remember our loved one but we can connect spiritually to them and bring them honor by elevating our personal behavior. Yes, a candle is lit and Kaddish is said, but it doesn't stop there. Reach out to Rabbi and Esther for further ways to make the Yahrzeit of your loved one even more meaningful.
