Memorial Plaques

Memorial plaques may be dedicated in memory of loved ones either on the Alice G. Winn Memorial Menorah or in the Harry N. and Estelle S. Gorin Memorial Alcove.

The Menorah consists of seven columns of glass plaques located along the rear wall of the Sanctuary. The Alcove displays bronze memorial plaques surrounding one of the entrance doors to the Sanctuary.

Along with the dedication of a memorial plaque, Temple Israel will perpetually read the name of the deceased person during Shabbat services the week of the yahrtzeit (anniversary of death). Family members will receive a postcard letting them know when the yahrtzeit occurs. All names on plaques are included as well in the annual Yom Kippur Book of Remembrance.

A contribution of $650 to Temple Israel's Endowment Fund is requested in order to dedicate a new memorial plaque for either the Menorah or the Alcove.

Please email Susan Misselbeck or call 617-566-3960 to request an application form.
