In our tradition, we are taught that love and memory are stronger than death. Judaism gives us the Kaddish prayer, Yizkor memorial services and an annual Yahrzeit to keep us connected to our loved ones. Our Tree of Remembrance reminds us as well, and we have the comfort of seeing our loved ones’ names, as we honor their memories publicly in our congregation.

Through us, our loved ones still live. Through supporting our Tree of Remembrance, their values and vision, as well as our own, will live on into the future.
