Create a Plaque and Memory Page

It is a widely observed Jewish Tradition to commemorate the passing of a relative or loved one on the walls within a temple. Each temple devotes an area within or near the sanctuary for memorializing those who have departed on a memorial wall. Nameplates or plaques are inscribed with the English and Hebrew names of the departed, along with the date of death in both the standard and Hebrew calendar.  Beside each plaque is a Memorial Light, which is lit annually on the Yahrzeit as well as Yizkor services.

Carry the traditions of Judaism beyond the walls of the temple.  Shiva.com recognizes that families and friends live all over the country or may not belong to a temple. Our sister website, NationalJewishMemorialWall.com, provides an online memorial wall to extend this tradition. By establishing a memorial here you have opportunity to continue this tradition and share it with family, friends and the community.
