*Yizkor Memorials and Yahrzeits
During the Yizkor service, it is traditional to remember the names of departed loved ones and special friends in the presence of the assembled congregation. This year, we will begin a new tradition. While all names of those who have died during the previous year will be read aloud, all other names will appear in a Yizkor Book available during our Yizkor service. All names on our Yahrzeit Plaques will automatically appear in the booklet, as well as the names of all of who have died during the previous year.
If you have additional loved ones whose names you want memorialized in our Yizkor Book, please send those names to Rabbi Feder (ravdfeder@GMAIL.COM). These names must be received prior to September 20, in order for them to appear in the Yizkor Book. Names received after the twentieth will appear on an insert, but will not be in the booklet.
A contribution in memory of the departed is traditional. Contributions can be seen as sustaining the memories of our loved ones and keeping those memories alive in our hearts and our community. There is no additional fee for those who are on a memorial plaque or have died during the previous year. For all other names, the contribution is $10/name for Tree of Life members and $18/name for non-members. Please mail your contributions, payable to Tree of Life, to Tree of Life Congregation, P O Box 791, Morgantown, WV 26507-0791. Please write “Yizkor” on the memo line. PLEASE NOTE: All annual names must be re-submitted.
