Book of Remembrance

May the Soul of my beloved be bound up in the bond of life.

How do we complete the symbolic transfer back into life after the death of our loved ones?  Many are the ways: memories; acts of loving kindness; showering our love on the children and grandchildren of the deceased.  Another way to forge the bond back into life is by allowing the names of our deceased to reemerge at the High Holidays in our Book of Remembrance distributed for each of the synagogue memorial services, beginning with Yom Kippur Yizkor and followed by Shemini Atzeret, the Eighth Day of Passover and the Second Day of Shavuot.

We are printing an expanded multi-page booklet and offer you the opportunity to include your loved ones using the form below.  This year, books will be available for pick-up before Yom Kippur.  We will contact you when they are ready for pick-up.

Please remember, it is a tradition to make a donation in memory of your loved ones.  A suggested contribution of $36.00 to the Synagogue would be greatly appreciated and would further honor your loved one’s memory, making it a veritable mitzvah.

If you have any questions, please call Norma Fiedler in the Temple office at 804-355-3564 ext. 100.

Sincerely,
Neal Menkes, Ritual Committee Chair
