Remembering our loved ones’ passing is a mitzvah and one which we embrace willingly and lovingly. Yazhrzeit is memorialized in the closest service coinciding with the anniversary and it’s also listed in our monthly newsletter.

Based on the style of the writing, he believes that the Torah was originally produced in Eastern Poland about a hundred years ago. The Torah was the very generous gift of a Shir Chadash member who wishes to remain anonymous.
