Generations of Jews observe an important sacred ritual of reciting the Mourner's Kaddish prayer to honor and remember a father or mother. The prayer may also be said for others like a spouse or a child. Kaddish is recited at funerals, during the week of mourning (shiva), for 11 months, and then every year on the anniversary of passing.
And Job said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
* We remember those whose Yahrzeits will be commemorated at Friday Night Shabbat Services.
(*Indicates a memorial light in the Sanctuary.)Bnai Shalom welcomes members to sponsor an oneg after Friday evening service or kiddush luncheon after Saturday morning service (different levels available) in the memory of their loved one the weekend or month of the observed Yahrzeit. These are required a month in advance and should be arranged with the Bnai Shalom office.
It is always a blessing for the congregation when you share a memory or two of your deceased family members at Friday Night Shabbat Services. Please let the Rabbi know if you would like to speak. It would be greatly appreciated if you would prepare your remarks in advance and limit yourself to two minutes.
