Every leaf includes the event, date, and your name.

Memorial (Yahrzeit) plaques

Honor the loss of someone special to you through a Yahrzeit plaque, and you will ensure that their Yahrzeit date will be memorialized.

​

Order a Yahrzeit plaque to be displayed in the sanctuary.


A reminder letter will be mailed to you every year prior to the Yahrzeit anniversary.


The name and Yahrzeit date will be listed in the Menorah that month and the memorial light next to the plaque in the sanctuary will be lit.


Kaddish will be said annually in that person's memory.

Illustrated Torah

An Illustrated Torah is displayed in our sanctuary. The scroll contains beautiful and colorful illustrations of each Torah portion printed on canvas and sewn together like the pieces of parchment of the actual Torah scroll. Each week, the scroll is rolled to the portion of the week. 

​

Individual canvas panels of a particular Torah portion can be purchased for your home, a bar/bat mitzvah gift, wedding gift or to mark a special occasion. A panel can be purchased framed or unframed and is a wonderful piece of art.

​

In addition, a book with all Torah portions in print is available for purchase.

Donate a weekday, Shabbat or Holiday prayer book with a personalized book plate for any occasion. The bookplate noting the dedication will be placed on the inside cover of the book.
