YIZKOR, in Hebrew, means “Remember.” It is not only the first word of the prayer, it also represents its overall theme. In this prayer, we implore G‑d to remember the souls of our relatives and friends that have passed on.

When we recite Yizkor, we renew and strengthen the connection between us and our loved one, bringing merit to the departed souls, elevating them in their celestial homes.

We are currently updating the Yizkor Booklet from last year. If you have any names you wish to be added please fill in the form below and send to, office@elwoodshule.org
