Jewish Memorial Prayers
Following the same Jewish values that guided The Four Brooklyn Ladies in 1907, MJHS proudly continues to observe the customs associated with mourning and memorializing a loved one.
Fundamental to Jewish tradition is remembering loved ones through memorial prayers and reflection. Many choose to further honor their loved one’s memory through chesed and tzedakah, good deeds and acts of charity.
