Yizkor Form

Dear Friends, 

It is customary that on the last day of each major holiday, and also on Yom Kippur, that the Yizkor prayer is recited in memory of the deceased. 

Although it is possible for the prayer to be said at home, there is something uniquely poignant about paying such tribute within the confines of the sanctuary – with the Torah scrolls bearing witness. Many go out of their way to show up for Yizkor, even if not consistent "shul attenders" throughout the year.

Toward that end, I am volunteering to serve as your proxy in offering the Yizkor prayer for your loved ones in our shul – while holding the Torah – on your behalf.

During the service, we will be holding the Torah scrolls In our arms and I will recite Yizkor on behalf of the entire congregation, pronouncing the name of each departed loved one you ask me to remember for you. I will have you and your family very much in mind and heart. 

Please complete this form with the names of your loved ones. May their souls achieve and aliya (ascendancy) in the heavens and bring blessing upon us, as well as prevail upon Hashem to bring this crisis to an end as well as an end to all pain and suffering.

With wishes for a blessed, joyous and healthy Yom Tov for you and yours,

Rabbi Levi Fogelman
