Yizkor Memorial Service

On Wednesday morning, June 8 at 8:30 am, the traditional Yizkor Memorial service will be held. Yizkor is a special service (about 45 minutes long) held on four holidays during the Jewish calendar year.  The service will include the reading of the Ten Commandments while the congregation is standing, as the Bible describes the Israelites during the first reading of the Ten Commandments. Everyone is welcome to attend both of these services, as well as all worship services at Beth Am Temple.

Beth Am Temple, a Reform Jewish temple, is a welcoming environment for Jewish and interfaith singles, couples, and families from Rockland and Bergen counties; approximately two thirds of the members come from Rockland with the balance residing in Bergen County. Beth Am offers K-12 religious school, Tot Shabbat, Hebrew School for children with special needs, adult torah study, senior programs, youth groups, a dynamic new cantor, monthly family services, and much more! For more information, call 845-735-5858 or visit their website to download a membership packet. Beth Am Temple is located at 60 E. Madison Avenue, in Pearl River, just a few blocks east of Route 304. www.BethAmTemple.org.
