“May their memories be for a blessing”
We recall here the loved ones whom death has taken
from us since Rosh Hashanah 5780. The memories of
YEISH KOCHAVIM
by Hannah Senesh
English Translation by Cantor Jeff Klepper
Yeish kochavim she’oram magia artza
Rak ka’asher heim atzmam avdu v’einam
Yeish anashim sheziv zichram mei’ir
Ka’asher heim atzmam einam od b’tocheinu
Orot eileh hamavhikim b’cheshkat halayil
Heim, heim, shemarim la’adam et haderech,
et haderech
There are stars up above
So far away we only see their light
Long long after the star itself is gone
And so it is with people that we loved
Their memories keep shining,
Ever brightly, though their time with us is done
But the stars that light up the darkest night
These are the lights that guide us
As we live our days these are the ways
We remember, we remember.

And
All those who
are in our hearts
Prayer for Forgiveness (Mehilah)
As I sit in remembrance of you, I pray that I may be
forgiven for any unkind work or deed, for any moment
of pain or anguish I ever caused you, for any thoughtless
or selfish act, for any sin of commission or omission
toward you. “For there is no one so righteous on earth
who does good only and sins not.” Before God I declare
that I bear no ill will for any wrong which you may have
wittingly or unwittingly committed against me.
May the recollections of all that was good and noble in
your life inspire me to walk ever more firmly in the path
of righteousness, to serve humanity ever more nobly.
May God grant you peace. May your soul be bound up
in the bond of eternal life, together with the souls of all
the righteous. Amen.
For A Mother
Eternal God, as I sit in remembrance of my dear mother, I
feel her presence everywhere about me. In this hour she
seems so close to me as when she lived in the flesh. I hold
in grateful memory all the loving sacrifices she made in
my behalf - the sleepless hours she spent in watching over
me and in tending me through long nights of illness and
pain. She was my counselor, understanding all my childish
moods and notions, faithfully helping me to resolve all
doubts and fears. From her lips I first learned about You,
O God, and your eternal teachings; at her knee I was
impressed with the blessedness of kindness, truth and
honor. Every noble impulse, every unselfish deed, every
worthwhile achievement in my lifetime - all are due to
her inspiration and influence.
O Eternal One, for all my mother’s years of love and
devotion, I give You thanks. Grant that the memories
which this Yahrzeit evokes inspire me to cherish the
priceless legacy my mother bequeathed unto me. May I
follow all my days the path of righteousness she set before
me. I pray, O God, You will keep her dear ones who loved
her, united in harmony and affection. And, when at last, I
am summoned unto You, may I be worthy to be united
with my mother in the bond of eternal life. Amen.
For A Father
Eternal God, at this moment of Yizkor, the memory of my
father’s life passes before me. I reverently recall the years
we shared together. Time cannot efface the measure of his
devotion. I shall ever be grateful for the sacrifices he
made in my behalf! Unsparingly he toiled to rear and
sustain me. With affection and understanding he stood at
my side to guide and encourage me when I needed help.
He taught me to love You, O God, and to keep Your
commandments.
O heavenly Creator, may the memories which this Yizkor
evokes be an incentive to noble living. Grant that the
recollection of my father’s life and teachings help me to
uphold the faith and heritage which he transmitted unto
me.
I pray O God, keep his dear ones who loved him, united in
affection and harmony. In tribute to his memory, may I so
live that, when at last I am summoned unto You, I shall be
worthy to be united with my father in the bond of eternal
life. Amen
For A Wife
Eternal God, as I remember my beloved wife at this
time of Yizkor, I recall the happy days when she was at
my side sharing trials and fears, dreams and hopes,
triumphs and disappointments, joys, and sorrows.
Memories of our years together - her solicitude, her
tender devotion, her friendship, and her true, abiding
love - temper the pain of my loss.
O heavenly Creator, strengthen my sorrowing heart.
Grant that the memories evoked by this Yizkor bring
solace in my days of loneliness. May these precious
memories spur me on fearlessly and courageously to
meet any trial or obstacle that life may hold. In tribute
to my dear one who brought me cheer and joy, may I,
through acts of loving kindness, bring cheer into the
lives of others. Grant that the soul of my beloved wife
be bound up in the bond of eternal life. Amen.
For A Husband
Eternal God, as I remember my dear husband, I recall
the days when he was at my side sharing trials and fears,
dreams and hopes, triumphs and disappointments, joys
and sorrows.
Deprived of his sweet companionship, I could not walk
my way alone were it not for the precious memories he
left to comfort and sustain me. He was ever the delight
of my heart. His solicitude, his tender devotion, his
friendship, true and abiding, made our years together
happy and blessed.
O heavenly Creator, strengthen my sorrowing heart.
Grant that the memories evoked by this Yizkor bring
solace in my days of loneliness. May these cherished
memories spur me on fearlessly and courageously to
meet any trial or obstacle that life may hold. In tribute
to my dear one who brought me cheer and joy, may I,
through acts of loving kindness, bring cheer into the
lives of others. Grant that the soul of my beloved
husband be bound up in the bond of eternal life. Amen.
For A Daughter
Eternal God, as I remember my beloved daughter, I
remember all the joys she brought to our home. I recall
her first smile, her first word, her first step. How I
delighted in her progress, dreamed and planned for her
future! Alas, O God, she was taken from those who loved
her before these hopes could be realized. Time, which
heals wounds, can never fill the void caused by her
departure.
O God and Comforter, Author of life and death, as I
observe my child’s Yizkor, I pray that my faith in You
and in the unfailing goodness of life shall never waiver.
Fortify me with courage that I may bravely continue my
daily tasks. May the precious memories of my beloved
daughter deepen my love for others so that I may bring
sweetness to those who have known bitterness and light
to those who dwell in darkness.
May I find consolation in serving others and so live that,
when the days of my life come to an end, I shall be
worthy to be united with my child in the bond of eternal
life. May her memory remain a comfort and blessing.
Amen.
For A Son
Eternal God, as I remember my beloved son, I remember
all the joys he brought to our home. I recall his first smile,
his first word, his first step. How I delighted in his
progress, dreamed and planned for his future! Alas, O
God, he was taken from those who loved him before these
hopes could be realized. Time, which heals wounds, can
never fill the void caused by his departure.
O God and Comforter, Author of life and death, as I
observe my child’s Yizkor, I pray that my faith in You and
in the unfailing goodness of life shall never waiver.
Fortify me with courage that I may bravely continue my
daily tasks. May the precious memories of my beloved
son deepen my love for others so that I may bring
sweetness to those who have known bitterness and light to
those who dwell in darkness.
May I find consolation in serving others and so live that,
when the days of my life come to an end, I shall be worthy
to be united with my child in the bond of eternal life. May
his memory remain a comfort and blessing. Amen.
For A Sister
Eternal God, as I remember my dear sister, I recall the
trials and joys we shared in family fellowship, the
disappointments and delights of youth, our dreams and
plans for the future. Her departure has left a void in my
heart. Death removed her too soon from those who were
her companions and friends. But time can never dim the
precious memories of her life. Though a link has been
severed from our family chain, may I be more closely
united with the dear ones who remain.
O heavenly Creator, as I observe my sister’s Yizkor, I
pray that I may emulate all that was good, true and
righteous in her life. May her soul be bound up in the
bond of eternal life, and her memory remain a comfort
and a blessing. Amen.
For A Brother
Eternal God, as I remember my dear brother, I recall the
trials and joys we shared in family fellowship, the
disappointments and delights of youth, our dreams and
plans for the future. His departure has left a void in my
heart. Death removed him too soon from those who
were his companions and friends. But time can never
dim the precious memories of his life. Though a link has
been severed from our family chain, may I be more
closely united with the dear ones who remain.
O heavenly Father, as I observe my brother’s Yizkor, I
pray that I may emulate all that was good, true and
righteous in his life. May his soul be bound up in the
bond of eternal life, and his memory remain a comfort
and a blessing. Amen.
In the rising of the sun and in its going
down, we remember them.
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of
winter, we remember them.
In the opening buds and in the rebirth of
spring, we remember them.
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth
of summer, we remember them.
In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of
autumn, we remember them.
In the beginning of the year and when it
ends, we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength,
we remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
we remember them.
When we have joys we yearn to share,
we remember them.
So long as we live, they too shall live,
for they are now a part of us,
as we remember them.
