Why aren my loved ones memorials automatically included in the Yahrzeit Book?
Consistent with community synagogue practices, this is a fundraiser; in our case, for Traditional Congregation Sisterhood. Of course, your yahrzeits are always read aloud on the preceding Shabbat, and reminder mailings sent out by the office, once the office is aware of your loss. Also, while inclusion in the Memorial Book is a meaningful way to remember the deceased, and benefits the congregation as well, some people simply don’t want to be included in this project; often, they have other ways, public and private, in which they choose to remember yahrzeits. 2. Why do I have to write down new yahrzeit dates? Doesn’t the office already have everything you need? Sometimes the office does not have the correct date; also, the yahrzeit files in the office usually do not have the secular date of death, only the Hebrew date. We need the secular date for a complete entry in the Memorial Book yahrzeit calendar, in which we automatically list everyone (for whom we have a date) named in a family
