Yahrzeit Observance

The Yahrzeit candle is lit at sunset on the evening before the anniversary of death based on the Hebrew calendar.

If you have a Yahrzeit coming up in your family and plan to attend a Shabbat service in order to say Kaddish, please let us know so that we can ensure the presence of a minyan.  

Members are invited to take advantage of our Yahrzeit reminder service.  If you would like us to keep track of the secular date and send you a reminder each year, please email the office with the decedent's name, date of death (either Hebrew calendar or secular), and their relationship to you.

We also have Yahrzeit candles available for a suggested donation of $5.  email: info@wrssjcc for more info
