Perpetual Yahrzeit

Establish a Yahrzeit in Israel for a loved one
Establish an Advance Yahrzeit in Israel for a loved one



Who will say Kaddish?
A Rabbi, under the auspices of Hadassah.

Where? Beneath the beautiful stained glass windows by Marc Chagall in the Fannie and Maxwell Abbell Synagogue at the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem.

When? Annually, on the Yahrzeit date, in accordance with the Hebrew calendar.

How? Your one-time, tax-deductible donation of $1,000 will ensure that Kaddish will be recited for your loved one in perpetuity in Israel, the land of our ancestors. Each year you will receive a notice from Hadassah providing both the English and Hebrew Yahrzeit dates. On that date the Kaddish prayer will be recited for your loved one during the mincha (service) in the Abbell Synagogue.

Your donation will benefit the Hadassah Medical Organization and enable Hadassah to continue its pre-eminent role in healing, teaching and research.  What better way to pay your respect to your loved ones than to give a life-affirming gift in their memory

Hadassah is committed to strengthening the unity of the Jewish people. In Israel, we accomplish this through progressive healthcare, education, youth institutions, volunteerism, and land reclamation. In the U.S. we reach our goals through Jewish and Zionist education programs, Zionist Youth programs, and health awareness programs, as well as by advocating for issues of importance to women and to the American Jewish community.
