Kaddish and Yarzeit Plaque

There is no greater mitzvah than to remember our loved ones who have died by saying Kaddish. Now through Congregation Kol Ami's premier Yarzeit Plaque program, you can remember your loved ones, family and friends, who have gone to their eternal rest. The handsomely designed Yarzeit Plaque boards, located in our new sanctuary, will continually perpetuate the memory of your loved ones. Annually, each Yarzeit Plaque donor will receive the following benefits:

  • Notification of the approaching Yarzeit date.
  • A light automatically illuminated on the wall beside the plaque during the corresponding week of the Yarzeit anniversary.
  • Their loved one's name remembered on the Shabbat closest to the Yarzeit date as well as inclusion in our Yom Kippur Service "Scroll of Remembrance."

A unique feature of our Yarzeit Plaque wall is the opportunity for personal placement of memorial stones. Following the Jewish custom of leaving a stone as a sign that the deceased has been visited and remembered, you will now be able to honor this tradition each time you visit Kol Ami. As so many of us live far away from family and friends, this affords us the chance to maintain their memory close at hand.
