We enter the world the same way we depart. We enter with a cry and go with a cry.
We enter with weeping and go with weeping. We enter with love and go with love.
We enter with a sigh and go with a sigh. We enter without knowing and go without knowing.
It has been taught in the name of Rabbi Meir:
When we enter the world our hands are clenched, as though to say: “The whole world is mine. I shall inherit it.”
But when we take our leave of it, our hands are spread open, as though to say:
“I have taken nothing from the world.”
-Ecclesiastes Rabbah 5:14

Give us the kindness to hear with compassion, to offer support, loving comfort, and care. Give us the courage to do what is needed, the wisdom to choose what is right and most fair. Give us the vision to see what is possible. Give us the faith that will help pave the way for a present that is hopeful, a future that’s peaceful—give us the heart to bring joy to each day.

As Jews, one of the most important and enduring qualities we share is our sense of memory. As we invoke and recall our loved ones, we are enabling those whom we love to enter back into our hearts and minds; keeping their memory alive. In our hearts our loved ones never die. We will always remember them, and thoughts of them will inspire us to live good, noble and meaningful lives. The death of those close to our hearts remind us of the emptiness and loss which affects us immensely. It devastates our lives, lives that were once filled with warmth by the life of their presence. It reminds us that “all that lives must die,” even the most humble and the righteous among us. And yet, as Jewish tradition teaches us, our life does not end at the grave; the soul lives on and is united with our Creator, with God. How, then, are we to accept the reality of death? By remembering the goodness of our loved ones and by modeling our lives after their example. For the memory of the righteous is a blessing, an inspiration for all of our days. May our lives always be worthy of their memory. Zichronam Livracha—May all of our loved ones memory, always be remembered for a blessing! Amen!
Rabbi Matthew J. Durbin

Yizkor “Faith does not spring out of nothing. It comes with the discovery of the holy dimension of our existence.” Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. Our tradition shows great wisdom in teaching us to gather for services of remembrance on Yom Kippur and on the three pilgrim festivals (Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot). These mo-ments that mark the seasons of the year—and the seasons of our lives—awaken strong memories of relationships that shaped us, sustained us, and sometimes challenged us; and of holy days we shared with loved ones and cherished friends. When they are gone, we can still affirm the beautiful and lasting values we learned from them, and remember them in all their humanness. One of the ways we can do that is by coming together as a community of comfort and care. From its inception a thousand years ago, when it was prayed by Ashkenazic Jews on the morning of Yom Kippur, Yizkor has had two profound themes: God’s embrace of the loved ones who are beyond our reach; and our commitment to do the good deeds that are within our reach by giving tzedekah in their memory. When we say Yizkor (May God remem-ber…) we proclaim our faith that those who have died have significance now and forever. “To ask of death that it never come is futile, but it is not futility to pray that when death comes for us, it may take us from a world one corner of which is a little better because we were there.” Rabbi Jacob P. Rudin This is the hour of memory—and this is our house of comfort. Wounded by loss, we retreat from life; our synagogue gathers us in. Into this place we bring stories and prayers, unanswered questions, tears that need to be shed. Lives recollected and carried within us—moments of courage and laughter and pain—this day embraces them all; this place embraces us all. Now the heart opens in sorrow, for we are time’s subjects, and all that we love, we must lose. So let us hold fast to the love that remains, and cherish the light of the sun. Today all of us walk the mourner’s path; together may we find strength.

(Eli, Eli, she’lo I’ga’mer l’olam. ha’chol v’hayam, rish’roosh sehl ha’mayim barak ha’sha’mayim t’filat ha’adam)
At birth, a miracle: You light the spark in every human soul. Emerging into light, we breathe it in—the neshama, Your sacred gift of life. And every day, every breath comes to us as a miracle. The light within us—unique and precious, is with us always, while we live. When breath has ceased and life has gone, the neshama returns to You. And the spark that lived inside the ones we love, unique and precious, beautiful and good, is theirs no more. Their light is ours, their radiance now burns in us, eternal flame of memory. So we light candles, to keep our love alive, to bring their light into the world; a light unique and precious, ours to treasure, while we live; a ner tamid that lights our days and gives us strength to journey through the nights. More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world.
(Edna St. Vincent Millay)

In my darkness, be a light unto me, in my loneliness help me to find a soul akin to my own. Give me strength to live with courage; and give me courage to draw blessing from life, even in the midst of suffering; to hold fast against the storm, and to smile at a loved one’s glace. Rabbi Chaim Stern With clenched fists as infants enter this world, as if to say: The whole world is mine to ac-quire. With hands wide open we leave the world, as if to say: I have acquired nothing in this world. For so it is said: Naked came I from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. Midrash Ecclesiastes Rabbah 5:20
Personal Reflections What memories of my loved one(s) do I cherish most? Do some of my memories still hurt? How do my memories help me to live a better life? Blessed are the memories, holy and cherished the love they reveal. We pray—May our sorrows soften and diminish in strength. May the pains of past bereavements grow gentler with time. Let memory bring us nearer to the loved ones in our midst. Baruch atah Adonai m’kor ha’chayim. Blessed are You, the Holy One, who gives and renews life. When we ask God to remember the souls of our departed at Yizkor, we request more than a mere mental act. We pray implicitly that by focusing on our loved one’s souls, God will take action on their behalf and save them from whatever pain they may be suffering, wherever they may be. At the same time, the implication is that this act of remembrance also constitutes a guarantee of Jewish continuity—well beyond just those we remember, and far beyond us as well. In remembering and in asking for God’s remembrance, we request divine help in contin-uing our people’s trajectory beyond ourselves, to achieve the ultimate aims of our people’s history.
Yizkor is, in the end, not a prayer for the dead, but a promise by the living. (Rabbi Aaron Panken)
My soul entrusted to Your care, both when I sleep and when I wake. My body, too, will rest in You. I have no fear—for God is with me.
Page 12
Deep contemplation of death can elevate the soul; it may even lead to peace of mind. Above all, it helps us see our lives in a truer light. For all things that appear trivial in light of death are already without significance in themselves. Annoyance that someone has lighted us, envy over others’ achievements—how inconsequential it all seems when viewed from the perspective of our mortality. To pass each day solely in pursuit of material success—this is life lived in what the poet calls “the shadow of a shadow.” Rather, when death is near, may each of us carry this truth in our hearts: “I have contributed to the work of tikkun olam; I have done my part in the struggle for goodness.” No act of kindness is too small to count; no act of love is without power. The world needs every heart and every hand; and, though we can never know the final outcome of our deeds, the fruit of our service will be gathered in by those who come after us. At this sacred moment, reflecting on the permanence of our lives, let these words serve as affirmation of the quiet ways in which each of us joins the great quest of humankind: “The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life and rest in unvisited tombs.” (Based on Claude Montefiore)
Our thoughts now turn to loved ones whom death has taken from us in recent days, and those who died at this season in years past. Our hearts open, as well, to the wider circle of loss in our community and wherever grief touches the human family……Zichronam Livracha—May their memories be a blessing in this new year and always! Amen!
There are sorrows whose roots the sympathy of best friends cannot reach. There are bur-dens so heavy that no human being can help to lift or bear them. There are some whose wounds are too raw even for a friendly touch. What must it mean to such a people to know and to feel that One greater than any human being is there with a sympathy silent, but how tender. With a balm unseen, but how healing. One to whom a heart can pour out its torrents of bitterness without words. A Friend with the tenderness of a mother, and understanding that it infinite. (Israel Mattuck)

Eternal God, help us to feel Your presence even when dark shadows fall upon us. When our own weakness and the storms of life hide You from our sight, help us to know that You have not deserted us. Uphold us with the comfort of Your love.
I had thought that your death was a waste and a destruction, a pain of grief hardly to be en-dured. I am only beginning to learn that your life was a gift and a growing and a loving left with me. The desperation of death destroyed the existence of love but the fact of death can-not destroy what has been given. I am learning to look at your life again instead of your death and departing. Marjorie Pizer
Birth is a beginning, and death a destination; But life is a journey, a going - a growing from stage to stage.
From childhood to maturity and youth to age. From innocence to awareness and ignorance to knowing; From foolishness to discretion and then perhaps to wisdom.
From weakness to strength or strength to weakness
- and often, back again. From health to sickness and back, we pray to health again.
From offense to forgiveness, from loneliness to love, From joy to gratitude, from pain to compassion, And grief to understanding - from fear to faith.
From defeat to defeat to defeat - until, looking backward or ahead,
We see that victory lies not at some high place along the way, But in having made the journey, Stage by stage - a sacred pilgrimage.
Birth is a beginning, and death a destination; But life is a journey, a sacred pilgrimage
Made stage by stage - from birth to death to life everlasting. (Rabbi Alvin Fine)
Page 14
You have created us in Your image and made us share in Your enduring righteousness. You have put eternity into our hearts, have implanted within us a vision of life everlasting. This hope we cherish in humility and faith, trusting in Your endless goodness and Your won-drous love. Into Your hands do we commit the spirits of our dear ones, for You keep faith with Your children in death as in life. Sustain us, O God, that we may meet with calm serenity, the dark mysteries that lie ahead, knowing that when we walk through the valley of the shadows of death, You are with us, a loving Friend, in whom we put all of our trust; You are the light of our life, our hope in eternity. The number of our years may be many or few; yet vain toil fills their span, for it is soon ended, and we fly away. So teach us to number our days that we may grow wise in heart. Lord, I yearn only to be near You, though at times I seem remote. Lord, I cannot find the way unaided: teach me the faithful service You would have me do, show me Your ways, guide me, lead me, release me from the prison of unknowing while I still can make amends. Do not despise my lowly state. Before I grow weak, so heavy with mortality that I bend and fall, and all my bones, brittle with age, become food for moth and worm, be my help, O be my help! Where my forebears went, there go I. Yes, I know it. Their resting place is mine. I know it. Like them I am a stranger passing through this life. Since the womb of earth is my allotted portion, and since I’ve chased the wind from the
beginning of my days, when will I come to set my house in order?

The passions You Yourself have made a part of me have kept me rapt within the passing scene, and how, enslaved to passion as I’ve been, a prey to fierce and fiery hungers, how I ask, could I have served You as I needed to?
But now the time has come to ask: why all this ambition, why the quest for high estate, when tomorrow I must die?
Why this expense of spirit, when tomorrow I mourn the passing time?
These days and nights combine to bring me to the end; they scatter my thought to the winds, they return my frame to the dust.
What now can I say in my defense?
What brave words remain to shield me from my truth?
My nature has pursued me, possessed me, driven and flayed me, a doubtful friend from childhood on.
What then do I really have besides Your presence?
Stripped of my pretensions, naked at the last, here I stand, and only Your goodness can clothe and shelter me.
For nothing now remains but this: Lord, I yearn only to be near You!
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to discard;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Page 16
God of those who live on earth and those who live in eternity. Be moved by our recollections of those we’ve lost, find them in Your infinite spaces and bring them to Your side, that we might know You shelter them beneath the shadow of Your wings, that they might know that we remember them and love them and are touched by them whether they died this week or long ago. May they forgive us for falling short of what, in their best moments, they had taught us; may we forgive them for falling short of what they wished that they could be. Help us honor them in the lives we lead, and may they speak for us as You prepare to seal our destiny in the year to come. Bring their souls into the bond of life, and grant us life, a long and healthy, virtuous life, for the sake of our love for them, for the sake of Your love for us. It is hard to speak of oneness when our world is not complete, when those who once brought wholeness to our life have gone, and naught but memory can fill the emptiness their passing leaves behind. But memory can tell us only what we were, in company with
those we loved; it cannot help us find what each of us, now alone, must now become. Yet no person is really alone; those who live no more echo still within our thoughts and words, and what they did has become woven into what we are. We do best homage to our dead by living our lives fully even in the shadow of our loss. For each of our lives is worth the life of the whole world; in each one is the breadth of the Ultimate One. In affirming the One,
we affirm the worth of each one whose life, now ended, brought us closer to the Source of Life, in whose union no person is alone and every life finds purpose.

Forever Remembered ...
Remember Me You can shed tears that I am gone. Or you can smile because I’ve lived.
Your heart can be empty Because you can’t see me. Or you can let it be full of The love that we shared. You can remember me
And think only that I’m gone. Or you can cherish
My memory and let it live on. You can live in the sorrows of yesterday.
Or you can choose Hope and love everyday.

Recitation of Names Our loved ones live in our broken hearts—and, at times, that brings some measure of heal-ing. Their acts of kindness and generosity are the inheritance they leave behind. We feel their absence; but the beauty of their lives abides among us. As it is said, “The name of one who has died shall not be forgotten.” Our loved one’s names—and their memories—will endure among us. And these are the names—on our lips and in our hearts…. Standing now before the Source of Life, the ultimate author of our purpose, let us join in hopefulness and praise, in blessing and in trust: Etz Chayim Hi—It is a tree of life to those who hold fast to it; and all of its supporters are happy! Its ways are pleasant ways and all of its pathways are peace. Bring us back to You, Adonai, that we might return; renew our life as in the days when You and we began.
The light of life is a finite flame. Like the Shabbat candles, life is kindled, it burns, it glows, it is radiant with warmth and beauty. But soon it fades, its substance consumed, and it is no more. In light we see; in light we are seen. The flames dance and our life burns down and gutters. There is an end to the flames. We see no more and are no more seen, yet we do not despair, for we are more than a memory slowly fading into the darkness. With our lives we give life. Something of us can never die: we move into the eternal cycle of darkness and death, of
light and life. (Rabbi Chaim Stern)

There are stars up above,
So far away we only see the light
Long, long after the star itself is gone.
And so it is with people that we loved —
Their memories keep shining ever brightly
Though their time with us is done
But the stars that light up the darkest night
These are the lights that guide us.
As we live our days, these are the ways we remember.
