CHESED / GOOD & WELFARE UPDATE

APRIL YAHRZEITS

MARCH DONATIONS

Yizkor, in its original form, was a time for the Jewish community to take note of loved ones who had been lost to the community in the year that had passed.

As we approach our second Passover since the beginning of the pandemic, and with Yizkor being recited on the last day of the holiday, we would like to remember all our loved ones who have passed since last March.

Please consider joining us on April 4 at noon, in the OJC parking lot, for a Yizkor service that will commemorate our losses of this past year. Your loved one’s name will be read as part of our memorial service.

If you would like to join this in-person service, you must register by 8:00 tonight (April 1). If you can’t join us on Sunday, please note that we are also offering a Yizkor via Zoom on Friday, April 2, at 6:30 pm.
