High Holy Day Donations – Book of Remembrance

In our High Holy Day communications to congregants each year, we include information about our Book of Remembrance as well as the various ways to donate during the High Holy Days. These reminders are an important part of the messages that help us prepare for this season of reflection and community. 

Each year, we publish the Book of Remembrance to honor the yahrzeit observances of our congregants’ first-degree relatives—children, parents, grandparents, and siblings. This sacred tradition allows us to reflect, remember, and hold space for those who came before us.

While inclusion in the book is never contingent on a donation, contributions help offset the cost of printing and support vital programs and services throughout the year, including expenses associated with the High Holy Days at TBE.

This year, thanks to the generosity of our community, the Book of Remembrance raised nearly $4,000. We are especially grateful to DiRienzo Monuments for their $1,000 sponsorship of this publication, and to Cress Funeral and Cremation Services, our gold-level annual sponsor whose support includes this meaningful project.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. Your generosity ensures that memory and community remain at the heart of all we do.
