Perpetual Yahrzeit Program at TDHS
Thank you for your interest in Temple’s Perpetual Yahrzeit Program to honor and remember dearly departed family members and friends.
Enrolling your loved one’s name in the Perpetual Yahrzeit Program ensures that they will forever be memorialized by Temple. While the Program may be modified in the future, Temple currently:
- reads the name of your loved one at Shabbat Services at both campuses;
- lists their name in our weekly Shabbat Program;
- includes their name in our printed, tri-annual Temple Tidings newsletter; and
- notifies you, and up to three others, of the upcoming Yahrzeit a few weeks in advance.
The cost to participate in this program is a one-time fee $360.00 per Yahrzeit name.
Or, for a higher fee, you also have the option to purchase a physical plaque for $550.00 per Yahrzeit name. This option includes all of the acknowledgments above in addition to the plaque. Please note it takes several weeks to receive the plaque from the time of your order. Please also know that we are currently considering modifying our bronze plaque program, perhaps through use of digital media, but that process will be a long one and will involve input from our congregants before any decisions are made.
You do not need to participate in the Perpetual Yahrzeit program in order for us to read your loved ones’ names. You may simply call the Temple office no later than Wednesday the week of the Yahrzeit, and ask for a name to be placed on our list.
