Scroll of Remembrance, 5781
New City Jewish Center has always prepared a “Scroll of Remembrance” which is available on Yom Kippur when we say Yizkor. Congregants may include the names of departed loved ones to remember their passing in a meaningful way. The Scroll contains a compilation of prayers and meditations to recite and give comfort throughout the year, particularly on the occasion of the four Yizkor services held each year.
The Scroll of Remembrance will only be made available digitally this year, due to Covid and will also be posted on the NCJC website.
Click here to download the Scroll forms. The Donation form and payment must be received in the NCJC Office by September 17th.
