5785 Memorial Book June 2024/Sivan/Tammuz 5784 Rumson Jewish Center at Congregation B'nai Israel Yizkor/Memorial Book 5785/2024-2025 Dear Member or Friend: One of the most emotionally moving customs of our congregation is the remembrance of our departed relatives and friends. The 5785/2024-2025 version of our Memorial Book will be used during Yizkor Services and other occasions throughout the year. Similar to last year, we will again need to make modifications to the format of High Holy Day Services and our Memorial Book distribution. High Holy Day Services will be a hybrid event that will incorporate services in our sanctuary, as well as virtually. Regardless of how you attend, you will receive the book so that you can participate in our Yom Kippur Yizkor Service. As a member, if you had a listing in last year's book, it will be repeated unchanged. If you have any changes, corrections or sadly, additions, please indicate such on the card provided in mailing or click here to pay onlineby July 25, 2024. We may not be able to make corrections, additions or changes after that date.
