Yizkor

Yizkor is soon approaching, a time when we honor the memory of our loved ones. Yom Kippur Yizkor Services will take place on Monday morning, September 25th and Shemini Atzeret Yizkor Services will take place on Saturday morning, October 7th.  

Our Congregational Yizkor Book will be published to bring focus to the names of our dear family and loved ones. The Yizkor Book will be distributed at the synagogue on Yizkor and will also be available to the Congregation for distribution via mail or pick up at the synagogue the week prior to Yizkor. The entire Yizkor Book will also be available electronically on our website.    

To ensure that the names of your loved ones will be memorialized in our 5784 Yizkor Book, the Yizkor Book form must be received by Wednesday, August 9, 2023. If you submitted names for last year’s Yizkor Book, please review your attached list for accuracy and check the box to include these names again.  You may also include additional names on this form. Names received after August 9th  might not be printed in the memorial book, but will be included in the online version of the book available on the Beth Yeshurun website as well as the printed addendum.

Also available below, is the form for the Reverent Tribute section of our Yizkor Book, which is dedicated to the members of Beth Yeshurun, of blessed memory, who served in the United States military to protect our freedom. This list is ongoing and once the name of your loved one is included, you do not need to complete this form again in the years to come. However, if your loved one is not yet included, please list the name(s) of your loved ones so that we may add them to the Reverent Tribute section.

Please complete these forms online by Wednesday, August 9, 2023. Should you have any questions, please contact Jennifer directly at 713-666-1881 x 315 or jsutton@bethyeshurun.org

We are deeply thankful for your support and hope that Beth Yeshurun’s Yizkor Book of Remembrance provides a source of comfort for you and our Congregation.
