SPINOZA HAVURAH
This is the time of year that our thoughts return to memories of years
gone by, times spent with Parents, Grandparents, Spouses, Siblings,
Children, Relatives, and Friends. These significant people may no
longer be here in the physical sense, but are with us in our memories
and will always hold a special place in our hearts. By remembering
them we can gain strength in dealing with our own challenges through
their example, courage, wisdom and love that they showed us during
their lifetimes.
We wish you a Happy, Healthy, and Peaceful New Year,
L’Shanah Tovah!

Nizkor is an Opportunity
To remember those people in our lives who are no longer alive.
To dwell for a few moments on the lives that they lived.
To remember the lessons that they taught us, by word or by deed.
To reflect on how much we miss them.
To mourn their passing and to weep for their absence.
To celebrate their lives.
To value our relationships with our loved ones.
To focus on the bonds that continue to join us.
To reflect on the issues that were unsettled.
To move closer to letting go of those loose ends.
To reflect on the impermanence and fragility of life.
To consider our own mortality.
To value our own lives and use our time wisely.
To reflect on what lives after us.

אָנִי מַדְלִיק אֶת הַנֵּר הַזֶּה לְזִכְרֶ ָך
אֲבָל אָנִי כְּבָר יוֹדֵעַ שֶׁלְּאֵלֶף נֵרוֹת
אֵין אֵשׁ שֶׁל אַחַת מִמִּלּוֹתֶיָך, וְלְאֵלֶף נֵרוֹת
אֵין אוֹר עֵינֶיָך שֶׁהַנֵּר הַזֶּה יָאִיר בְּשִׁבְעִילֶָּך
וּשְׁתָּאִיר בְּתוֹכִי לְנֶצַח
אָמֵן
Ani madlik et haner hazeh lezichrecha,
aval ani kevar yode’a shelle'elef nerot
en esh shel achat mimilotecha,
vele'ellef nerot en or enecha.
Shehaner hazeh ya'ir beshiv'ilecha
usheta'ir betochi lenetzach.
Amen.
This candle I light in your memory,
but I already know that a thousand candles don’t
have the fire of one of your words,
and a thousand candles don’t
have the light of your eye.
May this candle give light for your sake,
and that you forever give light within me.
May it be so!

MAY THERE BE A GOOD REMEMBRANCE
and compassion, and kindness, and love from all the
world, upon our honourable loved ones who are no longer
present. Let us make a place in our hearts
to remember their good names, a good memory,
and let us honour them with good deeds.
May their memory be a blessing forever. Amen.

Helen Shallit
Grandmother of Judith Shallit
We don’t know what she did to warrant being sent to Siberia. We don’t
know how she escaped and traveled across a continent to arrive home in the
middle of the night to pick up her younger sister and sail off to the Golden
Medina, where the streets were lined with…sweatshops. She knew what to
do then: ORGANIZE! And she loved her grand daughter.
May her Memory be a Blessing

In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
we remember them.
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
we remember them.
In the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring,
we remember them.
In the blueness of the sky and
in the warmth of summer,
we remember them.
In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
we remember them.
In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we
remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength,
we remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
we remember them.
When we have joys we yearn to share,
we remember them
So long as we live, they too shall live,
for they are now part of us
as we remember them.
