Passover Yizkor Service 
Tuesday, Apr 18th 7:00p to 9:00p 
On the eighth day of Passover it is customary to recite the Yizkor service. This is one of many ways that Jewish tradition remembers the lives of those that died and intertwines them with our own. This year we will be celebrating this service at 7PM with the hope that more of our community will be able to participate in the service.
