At our sacred festival days and joyous family gatherings, we re-
member them.
In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember
them.
When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember
them.
When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them.
When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them.
So long as we live they too shall live, for they are now a part of
us, as we remember them:
We remember with sorrow those whom death has taken from
our midst during the past year ....... Taking these dear ones into
our hearts with all our beloved departed, we recall them now
with reverence.
(Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer)
In memory of a father:
. ,
Yizkor Elohim - O God, remember the soul of my dear father
whom I recall in this solemn hour. I remember with esteem the
affection and kindness with which he counseled and guided me.
May I ever uphold the noble heritage he transmitted unto me
so that through me, his aspirations shall be fulfilled. May his soul
be bound up in the bonds of eternal life and his memory ever
be for a blessing, Amen.
In memory of a mother:
freedom.
Yizkor Elohim - O God, remember the soul of my beloved
mother whom I recall in this solemn hour. I remember with
deep reverence and affection the solicitude with which she
tended and watched over me, ever mindful of my welfare, ever
anxious for my happiness. Many were the sacrifices she made in
order to ennoble my heart and instruct my mind. May her soul
be bound up in the bonds of eternal life and her memory ever
be for a blessing, Amen.
