Yizkor

Yizkor is a Jewish memorial prayer recited to honor and remember deceased loved ones. Typically recited four times a year—on Yom Kippur, Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot—it serves as a spiritual tribute, expressing gratitude and fostering a connection to those who have passed. The prayer often includes memorial candle lighting and charity contributions in their memory. Yizkor helps the living maintain a bond with their deceased, seeking comfort and reflecting on the enduring legacy of loved ones within the community.
