4 Yartzeit List Update Beth Shalom Family, Since January, we have sent out a monthly yahrzeit listing to all families observing yahrzeits in the secular calendar month. We have also continued to print the list in our monthly bulletin Chai Lites. As a congregation we are observing secular dates only. For those who observed Hebrew dates, we had been checking the calendar yearly and making the appropriate adjustment. Rabbi Herzfeld has noted that most Reform Congregations observe secular dates, and we are now following suit. If your family has been observing the Hebrew dates, please let us know the secular date you want to observe. In an earlier notice, we asked if another member would like to assume responsibility for managing the yarzeit list for monthly notices and for the Yom Kippur Yiskor service. Let us know if you are interested.
