Yizkor Remembering Together Once again Rabbi Gurkow, you have touched our lives as I read all the other comments. Specially mine.

Sometimes one of our beloved friends my die speritually, even though still in a living body. We can tell by their behavior in life. And as we love and seek our G-d's presence, blessed be He, there is no other alternative in the physical, but to let go of them. Yet in our most inner self, in our heart, we mourn for the loved one. In such a case, spiritually, by praying, we need to ask the Eternal for His mercy in turning our hearts to him in the unity of His love.

This was a very touching story. Thank you Rabbi for your teachings. Reply

Yizcor Rabbi - thank you. If I could find a Rabbi as gentle, as modest and as sensible as you without becoming maudlin in my huge city I would go to Schul again. Shana Tova. Reply

Question I heard that for Yizkor service, only the people who lost their parents remain in the praying place and others have to leave. Can I mourn for a person who is not my parent nor blood relative, but whom I have strong attachment to in Yizkor service? Reply
