Yizkor Meditation

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 ones’ 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 continuing 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 z”l

The Wisdom of Our Tradition

Our tradition shows great wisdom in teaching us to gather for services of remembrance on Yom Kippur and on the three pilgrimage festivals (Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot). These moments 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 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 tzedakah in their memory. When we say Yizkor (May God remember…) we proclaim our faith that those who have died have significance now and forever.

May God’s great name come to be magnified and sanctified in the world God brought into being. May God’s majestic reign prevail soon in your lives, in your days, and in the life of the whole House of Israel; And let us say: Amen

May God’s great name be blessed to the end of time.

May God’s holy name come to be blessed, acclaimed, and glorified; revered, raised, and beautified; honored and praised.

Blessed is the One who is entirely beyond all the blessings and hymns, all the praises and words of comfort that we speak in the word; And let us say: Amen.

Let perfect peace abound; let there be abundant life for us and for all Israel. May the One who makes peace in the high heavens make peace for us, all Israel, and all who dwell on earth; And let us say: Amen.

. . . And we remember the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust.

************

In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember them.

In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them.

In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them.

In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of the summer, we remember them.

In the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them.

In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember them.

When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them.

When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them.

So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us,

as we remember them.
