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. Please include your written instructions and donation, payable by check, and mail by July 25, 2024 to: Congregation B'nai Israel Memorial Book 171 Ridge Road Rumson, NJ 07760 This year you also have the option of paying online at https://www.rumsonjc.org/form/2024-memorial-book.html under the “giving” tab by selecting the “Memorial Book” option or by charge card by calling Alice McPhee, 732 842-1800, option 9. As in the past, non-members are invited to participate, at a required minimum donation of $36 per line. If we do not hear from members, their listings will remain unchanged. If we do not hear from non-members, their listings will not be included. Thank you in advance for your participation and understanding in these difficult times.
