Yizkor Service for Shemini Atzeret
Tuesday, October 14: 9:30am
For centuries Jews have observed the tradition of a Yizkor prayer service, a time to remember loved ones dear to our hearts, on the holidays of Yom Kippur, and during the three festival holidays, Sukkot (rather, at its conclusion, Shemini Atzeret), Passover and Shavu’ot.
If a loved one has passed away recently, or long ago, this is a meaningful time for prayer, song and meditation, as “an hour of memory.” The words and melodies of the Jewish tradition make the Yizkor service a time to offer gratitude for life’s blessings, and to spend time reflecting on the memory of those whom you love.
