Tree of Life

JRLC of South Beach is like a tree with wide branches and innumerous leaves. Each additional leaf is another good deed bringing light to our lives.
Apparently, one single leaf seems insignificant when compared with the entire tree. But it is known that the leaves are the source of breathing for the tree, and without leaves, there is no tree, and if there is no tree, there are no fruits.
By initiative of our friends, we are building a special tree which will be positioned in the synagogue.  Over time, this will provide donors the opportunity to support JRLC of South Beach, while honoring family and friends. The Tree of Life celebrates the current lives of family and friends by honoring birthdays, anniversaries, marriages, births, bar and bat mitzvahs, retirements or other special occasions.
To participate and buy a leaf in the "Tree of Life" it is $360. For your convenience, several methods of payment are available. Installments are also available.
All donations are tax-deductible!

Memorial Board



We are fortunate to have a beautiful Memorial board in our synagogue. The elegant memorial plaque dedication is a distinguished, reverent way of paying respect and tribute to the memories of our dear departed loved ones, showing as it does the prominent places they occupy in our place of worship and in our hearts. 

 

Our sages tell us that the best memorial for a loved that has passed on is to donate Tzedaka (Charity) in their memory.  You can dedicate a plaque on the Memorial, which will bear the name and date of the passing of a loved one, with a $360 Tax-Deductible contribution. 

Click here     to order yours

 

  
The fee includes annual notification of upcoming Yahrzeits, and the illumination of memorial lights on the board during the month of the Yahrzeit perpetually.

 

 

Four or more plaques $300 each.

 

The 2 side candles are 1,800 each.

(example: one candle is in memory of all the those that perished during the Holocaust. The other could be in memory of all the IDF soldiers that perished to protect our land). 

 

We would like to thank Ryaboy and Finkel families for sponsoring our Memorial Board.

And Alla Lisovetsky and Dovid Efraim Berezner.
