All services have open seating, unless reserved seating is needed for accomodation.

Remembrances
Memorial Plaques
There are special Jewish traditions on the anniversary of a death, or yahrzeit. Loved ones light a 24-hour candle, make charitable contributions and recite the Mourner’s Kaddish. At TI, we read names of the deceased on Friday evening and Shabbat morning. We also light memorial plaques in the Sanctuary before sundown on the Shabbat preceding a yahrzeit and before each Yizkor (memorial) services.
Order a memorial plaque here.
Note: Orders will not be ready in time for the fall Holidays.
Book of Remembrance
The Book of Remembrance contains names of loved ones, reflections and special prayers. It is used at Yizkor (memorial) services throughout the year.
