At a time of sorrow it is comforting to know that something positive is being done to remember a loved one, a way of honouring their values and commitment to others. Boys Town Jerusalemâs In Memory Programme is a way to remember a loved one for perpetuity in Jerusalem, whilst at the same time helping to enrich the lives of the pupils at Boys Town Jerusalem.
Kaddish* will be recited every year on your loves ones Yahrzeit** by a pupil at Boys Town Jerusalem at each of the daily services.
Kaddish will be recited three times daily for the year following your loved oneâs passing, by one of the pupils in one of Boys Town Jerusalemâs synagogues.
In addition to Kaddish being recited for the year following your loved oneâs death and on their Yahrzeit, a personal plaque will be installed in one of the synagogues at Boys Town Jerusalem.
Please contact him on 020 8090 8421 for further details.
* Yahrzeit is a Yiddish word meaning anniversary of a death. It is the yearly anniversary of a loved oneâs death (traditionally the anniversary of the Hebrew date). At home, Yahrzeit is observed by lighting a special 25-hour candle in memory of the deceased.
** Kaddish is an Aramaic prayer that is almost 2,000 years old. One form of the Kaddish is recited in memory of the deceased and is recited in a prayer service, on a daily basis, after the death of a relative. Where possible, Kaddish is recited every day during the morning, afternoon, and evening services.
