What is Yizkor

Yizkor means "remembrance" in Hebrew and most commonly refers to memorial prayer services held four times a year during Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Passover and Shavuot. Jewish people believe in the eternity of the soul. It is common belief that by saying Yizkor, remembering a loved one and giving charity in a loved one's name helps his or her soul gain merit from our good deeds. Reciting Yizkor may also serve as a very important and reflective time for individuals honoring and commemorating loved ones.

Synagogues hold Yizkor services four times a year: Yom Kippur, the last (8th) day of Sukkos, the last (8th) day of Passover, the last (2nd) day of Shavuos.
