Book of Remembrance

The Book of Remembrance is a cherished tradition where we honor departed loved ones. Every Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, we reflect on those who’ve passed – recently or in years past. The book includes those memorialized through plaques and dedicated rooms in our Sanctuary. This year, the Book of Remembrance will be online and printed for the Yizkor Service on Yom Kippur. Can’t attend? Request a printed copy. To include names, complete the form by Monday, October 7, 2024.
