Memorial Opportunities
Many people find that an important part of the healing process is creating a permanent memorial to their loved ones. There are several ways you can do so at Temple Beth El.
Memorial options include the dedication of prayer books and/or a Memorial Plaque. The Torah Commentary, Mishkan T’filah Reform Siddur or Mishkan T’filah for the House of Mourning will be inscribed with both your name (donor) and the name of the deceased.
The memorial plaques are located in Recognition Hall and are engraved with your loved one’s name and their dates of birth and death. The plaque is illuminated during the week of their Yahrzeit as well as four other times during the year when Yizkor is recited. Memorial plaques can be reserved in advance as well.
