Yahrzeit Memorial Plaques are used in Jewish tradition to honor and remember deceased loved ones. The Yahrzeit plaques have a small light next to them. This light is illuminated annually on the anniversary of the death and during Yizkor services, which are memorial prayers recited on certain Jewish holidays. Yahrzeit Plaques are installed in the Anchin Chapel. The Tribute Bricks are placed in the Memorial Garden on the walkway behind Kobernick House. These plaques and bricks memorialize a loved one or celebrate a special occasion.
For more information about acknowledgment opportunities or Yahrzeit Memorial Plaques and Tribute Bricks, please call the Foundation Office at 941-203-6237.
