Our Beth El Yizkor Circle is a facilitated gathering for anyone remembering a loved one who has died, no matter how recently. It is an opportunity to speak about the people we have lost, our experiences of mourning and grief, and the journey of healing and memory. Our losses compound over time, especially as we have lived through the challenges of the last few years, and the need for community is more important than ever in our healing. Our Yizkor Circle will be held in person in the Beit Midrash; there is no Zoom option for the Yizkor Circle. 

Yizkor is our tradition’s dedicated memorial service; an intentional time and space to name and acknowledge the presence of the absence of important people in our lives who have died. Yizkor is recited on Yom Kippur and the three ancient pilgrimage festivals: Sukkot, Pesach, and Shavuot. This year’s Pesach Yizkor service will be held in the Beit Midrash, beginning at 6:15pm and will be mixed presence. All are invited to attend either in-person or on Zoom.
