Yizkor Donations
Yizkor is a memorial prayer recited four times a year: on Yom Kippur, Shmini Atzeret, the last day of Passover and the 2nd day of Shavuot. It is a solemn and meaningful prayer, commemorating the lives of a beloved member of the family. Our tradition teaches us that family members who are no longer in this world still maintain a powerful spiritual connection to the living, and that the goodness and mitzvoth we do on behalf of our loved ones can bring can bring them eternal benefit.
The word Yizkor means “to remember”. For us, remembering is not only a matter of thought, but also of deed; we take action to benefit others in the merit of our loved one. In fact, within the text of the Yizkor prayer we pledge to give charity in the merit of the deceased. By donating to Mt Freedom Jewish Center in honor of Yizkor, you bring great benefit to both the living and the departed.
