Memorial Service
Hazzan:
Rabbi: There is a time for everything; there is a time for all things under the sun:
Community: a time to be born and a time to die.
Rabbi: a time to laugh and a time to cry
Community: a time to dance and a time to mourn.
Rabbi: a time to seek and a time to lose
Community: a time to forget and a time to remember.
Rabbi: This day in sacred convocation we remember those who gave us life.
Community: This day we remember those who enriched our life with love and with beauty, with kindness and compassion, with thoughtfulness and understanding.
י בל־אמוט: ימינ י מ יד כ י תמ יתי יי לנגד שו

We Remember Them Rabbi: At the rising of the sun and at its going down We remember them. Community: At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter We remember them. Rabbi: At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring We remember them. Community: At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer We remember them. Rabbi: At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn We remember them. Community: At the beginning of the year and when it ends We remember them. Together: As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us as we remember them. Rabbi: When we are weary and in need of strength We remember them. Community: When we are lost and sick at heart We remember them. Rabbi: When we have joy we crave to share We remember them. Community: When we have decisions that are difficult to make We remember them. Rabbi: When we have achievements that are based on theirs We remember them. Together: As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us as we remember them.
Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer
Each of us reads silently the appropriate
passages among those which follow. Personal meditations may also be added.
We rise.
In Memory of a Father
ר )נודרת( להים את נשמת אבי מורי שהלך לעולמו. הנני נוד יזכור א צדקה בעד הזכרת נשמתו. אנא תהי נפשו צרורה בצרור החיים ותהי
ן. מנוחתו כבוד. שבע שמחות את פניך, נעימות בימינך נצח. אמ
May God remember the soul of my dear father who has gone to his eternal home. In loving testimony to his life, I pledge charity to help perpetuate ideals important to him. Through such deeds, and through prayer and memory, his soul is bound up in the bond of life. May I prove myself worthy of the gift of life and the many other gifts with which he blessed me. May these moments of meditation link me more strongly with his memory and with our entire family. May he rest eternally in dignity and peace. Amen.
In Memory of a Mother
ר להים את נשמת אמי מורתי שהלכה לעולמה. הנני נוד יזכור א )נודרת( צדקה בעד הזכרת נשמתה. אנא תהי נפשה צרורה בצרור החיים ותהי מנוחתה כבוד. שבע שמחות את פניך, נעימות בימינך

May these moments of meditation link me more strongly with her memory and with our entire family. May she rest eternally in dignity and peace. Amen.
The deaths of those we remember leave gaping holes in our lives, but we are grateful for the gift of their lives. We are strengthened by the blessings which they left us and by precious memories which comfort and sustain us as we recall them this day.

The memory of our companionship and love leads me out of loneliness into all that we shared which still endures. May he rest eternally in dignity and peace. Amen.
In Memory of a Wife
ר )נודרת( להים את נשמת אשתי שהלכה לעולמה. הנני נוד יזכור א צדקה בעד הזכרת נשמתה. אנא תהי נפשה צרורה בצרור החיים ותהי

The memory of our companionship and love leads me out of loneliness into all that we shared which still endures. May she rest eternally in dignity and peace. Amen.
In Memory of a Son
יני שהלך לעולמו. הנני להים את נשמת בני האהוב מחמד ע יזכור א ר )נודרת( צדקה בעד הזכרת נשמתו. אנא תהי נפשו צרורה נוד בצרור החיים ותהי מנוחתו כבוד. שבע שמחות את פניך, נעימות

May these moments of meditation link me more strongly with their memory. May they rest eternally in dignity and peace. Amen.
In Memory of a Baby
May God remember the soul of my beloved child who has gone to eternal rest. Their life was but the briefest flicker of a flame, extinguished before they had time to shed their light on the world - but not before sharing their warmth with me. Through the months of their gestation, I prepared to nurture and to love them. For the times that they lived, I gave to them everything a parent could have given and received everything I could have expected.
May the memory of the joy they brought to me in the short time that we were together strengthen me. For the gift of their life without transgression, I pledge to do acts of righteousness and charity that they may merit eternal life and that I may find comfort in this world. May they rest in peace.

In Memory of the Six Million

And because we, their children and family, pledge charity to perpetuate their memories, let them dwell in the Garden of Eden forever. Merciful One, shelter them always under Your wings and bind them in the bond of life. You are their inheritance; may they rest in peace. And let us say: Amen.
This is the El Maleh Rachamim taught to Leopold Sher by his father Joseph Sher z”l. When visiting graveyards, Joseph would walk from grave to grave chanting these words. May his memory be for a blessing.
In Memory of All of the Dead

Exalted, compassionate God dwelling on high, grant perfect peace in Your sheltering Presence among the holy and the pure who shine and gleam like the lights of the firmament, to the souls of all those we have recalled today. May their memory be a blessing and may they dwell in the Garden of Eden forever. Merciful One, shelter them always under Your wings and bind them in the bond of life. You are their inheritance; may they rest in peace. And let us say: Amen.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
ר א אחס י ל ע ד יי ר ור לדו מזמ
God makes me lie down in green pastures and leads me beside the still waters,
ות י מנח ני על־מ שא ירביצ ות ד בנאני הל ינ
Restores my soul and guides me in straight paths for the sake of God’s name.
דק י־צ ני במעגל ב ינח י ישוב נפשען שמו למ
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for You are with me.
Your rod and Your staff, they com-fort me.
ות יא צלמ ך בג ל י־א גם כ

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
י רר ן נגד צ י ׀ שלח ך לפנ ער ת
You have anointed my head with oil; my cup runs over.
י רויה י כוס אש מן ר נת בש דש
Surely goodness and mercy shall fol-low me all the days of my life;
י חיי רדפוני כל־ימ סד י וב וח ך ט א
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Pre-Mourning Period
This period lasts from the moment of death to the recital of the
Kaddish prayer in the cemetery. It is known as Aninut.
With remarkable insight into a person’s emotional problems, our sages
exempt the mourner from religious duties, even from the duty of
prayer. The advice is given to try to comfort a mourner with the dead
still unburied. It is also suggested to have the funeral service as soon as
possible. It may be postponed to allow children and close relatives to
attend.
During this time the deceased is prepared for burial by ritually
washing the body (Taharah) and dressing it in white linen shrouds
(Takhrikhim). These tasks are performed by the Chevra Kadisha. The
word Chevra Kadisha means “Holy Association”, the name applied to
those involved in this important and sacred mitzvah. The ritual
cleansing of the body is a symbol of the purification of the soul.
Whenever possible we attempt to provide a shomer (Watcher) to sit
with the deceased until the funeral. Friends and members of the
family may participate in this mitzvah.
A plain wooden casket is used at all funerals. As with Takhrikhim the
purpose is also to make it clear that people are equal before God.
Caring Committee
The meal eaten by mourners immediately after the funeral is known as
Seudat Havra’ah, a meal of condolence and healing. The Caring
Committee at Shir Chadash provides this meal to members of our
congregation who have suffered a loss. Eggs are traditionally served at
this dairy meal since they symbolize the cycle of life.
When a Loved One Dies
At sometime or other, bereavement comes to all of us. The death of a
loved one is a most painful experience. At the time death occurs we
are often at a loss as to where to turn and what to do.
Who to call
Synagogue Office (504) 889-1144 or Rabbi (818) 536-2539.
Shivah
The Shivah period lasts for 7 days, counting the day of the funeral as
the first day. (On the seventh day, it is only necessary to sit for one
hour in the morning.) One does not sit Shivah on Shabbat, but it
counts as one of the 7 days. If the family desires a minyan service, it
will be provided for the Shivah period. Otherwise the family attends
synagogue services to recite Kaddish.
Shloshim
This is a 30 day period of mourning that begins the day of the funeral
(it encompasses Shivah). While after Shivah mourners return to their
usual pursuits, it is customary not to participate in any festivity or
entertainment during the Shloshim period. It is also customary not to
visit the grave during this period. When mourning the loss of a parent,
the restrictions are continued for a full year.
Kaddish
Mourners recite Kaddish at every service they attend for a period of 11
months for parents and 30 days for other relatives. Services at Shir
Chadash are held on Friday evenings at 6:15 pm, Saturday mornings at
9:30 am, Sunday mornings at 9:15 am and Wednesday mornings at
7:00 am.
Yahrzeit
The synagogue will give notification of when a Yahrzeit (Hebrew date
of anniversary of death) occurs. A Yahrzeit light should be kindled at
home on the evening before and the day of the Yahrzeit and services
should be attended on the Shabbat closest to the Yahrzeit so that
Kaddish may be recited. Alternatively, the synagogue is happy to help
arrange minyanim on the day of the Yahrzeit. All such requests should
be directed to the Ritual Vice President.
Memorial Plaques and Bricks
A memorial plaque or a brick containing the name of your loved one
and date of death is a most fitting memorial. Plaques are placed on the
Memorial Tablets in the synagogue and are illuminated on the Friday
night and Saturday morning prior to the Yahrzeit. The bricks are laid
on the pathway to the Sukkah.
33
We recall with deep sorrow, our devoted and esteemed
loved ones who were summoned to their eternal rest
during the past year.
We thank you, God, for those whose goodness and courage
have passed into the lives of others
and left the world richer for their presence.
34
To give thanks, even in grief
O Lord, our Lord, how great is Your name,
How manifold are Your blessings.
Even in the midst of our pain and sorrow,
We are mindful of Your goodness to us.
We are grateful for the strength to carry our burden,
For friends and loved ones who are near to help.
We are grateful for the promised healing to follow,
After we walk through the valley of the shadow.
And we are grateful for the memories of our loved ones,
Which death can never take from us.
Help us, we pray, to be mindful always,
Of the many blessings in our lives;
For the blessings of the earth,
For the yield of the land and the waters;
So that we may ever be among those
Who reverently offer gratitude to You,
And strive to share Your blessings
With all Your children everywhere.
