Yizkor Book 5787 (2026-27)
Every year our congregation has published a Yizkor book, including information about Yizkor, the Yizkor service in Hebrew, English and Russian and a list of names to be remembered in our communal prayers.
The Yizkor Book is used at the YomKippur, Shmini Atzeret, Pesach and Shavuot Yizkor services.
See here for a list of names in last year's (2025-26) book.
This year we will again be publishing a new and enhanced Yizkor Book, which we will be available in time for Yom Kippur. All names in our Yizkor Book will be recited during the Yom Kippur Yizkor Services and we will recite all the names again on all the Yomtovim throughout the coming year.
We invite you to submit your departed relative’s names to be included in the booklet. To ensure the Yizkor Book is finished in time to be sent out for Yom Kippur, please complete this form online as soon as possible. Names must be submitted no later than COB Wednesday September 16th.
Last year we tried to do something different. Rather than just include readings sourced online, we reached out to community members to ask you to submit a personal memory, reminiscence or philosophy. We'd like to do that again.
Would you consider sharing with the congregation what or who you think about at Yizkor. Is there a special moment that you dwell on, or a meditation that resonates? Would you consider writing a poem, or drawing an illustration to illuminate these sacred moments. The blank canvas is yours to fill.
Please submit your contribution (maximum 600 words) by email or upload below, before Wednesday
It has become the practice to make an offering to the Synagogue in the memory of those being remembered at Yizkor. We suggest a donation of $36 per name to be included in the booklet, or an amount of your choice.
