Kaddish at TBI
TBI follows the custom of reciting Kaddish for loved ones the Shabbat before the Hebrew Date. If you would like your relative's name added to our community yahrzeit list, we will remind you each year before the date. The Kaddish prayer is traditionally recited by 7 close relatives of the deceased (mother, father, son, daughter, brother, sister, and partner). The custom of additional relatives and friends saying Kaddish is welcome and encouraged at TBI. We also welcome Kaddish to be said for non-Jewish relatives.
Jewish tradition states that people are not gone, so long as we remember them and the impact they had on our lives. To help remember them, we invite you to share photos or speak about a memory or two. If you have a special photo that you would like to be screenshared during services, or you would like to speak, or to add a name to our community yahrziet list, let us know at Admin@tbila.org
Mourner's Kaddish would normally be recited at the end of each synagogue service. While we are socially distanced, we are using a prayer in place of Kaddish.
