Congregation Sinai Memorial Wall
Zikhram livrakhah: May their memory be a blessing.
Judaism teaches that a person lives on through the memories, values, and deeds they leave behind. At Congregation Sinai, we remember those we have loved and lost. Our Memorial Walls are places of quiet reflection where the names of loved ones are held within our community. Each plaque is a lasting tribute: a way to honor a parent, spouse, child, sibling, friend, or teacher, and to ensure that their name continues to be spoken among us.
There are two Memorial Walls at Congregation Sinai. A new Memorial Wall has recently been dedicated in the sanctuary. The foyer contains brass memorial plaques dating back to the founding of the synagogue. Both are open to visitors for reflection. When you dedicate a new plaque, you may choose the location you prefer.
