YIZKOR
There are 4 times a year when Jews light a special candle, called a
Yahrzeit Candle, in memory of loved ones who have died.
Yizkor is a memorial service which is recited on Yom Kippur as
well as the last days of Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot. Yizkor,
which is the Hebrew word for "remember", asks God to remember
those we mourn and to grant them proper rest. A Yahrzeit Candle
is lit at sundown on...
· The first night of Yom Kippur
· The night of Shemini Atzeret (the 8th night of Sukkot)
· The last night of Passover
· The second night of Shavuot
The Yizkor service takes place the following day. We urge all
congregants, both young and old, to be present during Memorial
Services (Yizkor). It is a mitzvah for all of us to recall those whose
lives shaped ours.
