Yizkor / Book of Remembrance 5785 - Form

Book of Remembrance

Yizkor is a time we remember and honor our departed loved ones. Traditionally we make a donation in their memory, “Ehtain Tzedakah bah-ah-dah...I will donate charity in her or his sake.”

We are continuing the updated front section where you can offer tributes to loved ones, listing them after your, or your family's, name under "Name of Donor" (see examples below.)

Examples of "Name of Donor" and "List of Names":

Isaac and Miriam Cohen

Joseph Cohen
Hyram Cohen
Minnie Klein

The Eisen Family

Margaret Eisen
Amelia Bloom
Our friends & family at Har Zion

- Please fill out "Name of Donor" in the form below exactly as you want it to be published:

“Isaac and Miria Cohen” or "The Eisen Family"

- Does your loved one have a memorial plaque? Let us know by checking the Plaque box after you enter their name.

- Do you wish to memorialize an October 7 victim? Let us know that by checking the October 7 box after their name.

*** DEADLINE for all submissions is Friday, September 20th, so that we have time to prepare the book for printing.

Suggested Donations

Donation for Each "Memory of Name" Listed:

There is no charge to list names of people who have memorial plaques at the temple. There is also no charge to list an October 7 victim. Please be sure to check the correct box next to the name.

For all other names, there is a minimum $20 donation per name.

Donation for a Personal Message or Greeting:

You can, if you wish, add a short message or greeting to be put in this section of the Book of Remembrance, between your name—(Name of Donor)—and your list of people remembered. Type this short greeting in the Personal message box.

We request a minimum donation of $36 for a Personal message.

Printing Cost

Our cost to produce the Yizkor books has increased substantially. If you are able to, please consider increasing your donation to help cover costs. Would you like to underwrite the Book of Remembrance? Donors willing to underwrite the publication of the book will be recognized.

If you have questions or need a hand filling out this form please call (708-366-9000) or write the office. Thank you for your continued support of Temple Har Zion.

Your donation is important. The printing of the book is no longer funded by a former member family. This has significantly increased Har Zion's costs for the Book of Remembrance.

Please write or call (708.366.9000) the office if you are considering underwriting a portion of the costs incurred and you would like to discuss the contribution. Thank you!!
