Yizkor\, in Hebrew\, means "Remember." It is not only the fir st word of the prayer\, it also represents its ove rall theme. In this prayer\, we implore G‑d to rem ember the souls of our relatives and friends that have passed on.
\n \nWhen we recite Yizkor\ , we renew and strengthen the connection between u s and our loved one\, bringing merit to the depart ed souls\, elevating them in their celestial homes .
\n \nThe main component of Yizkor is our private pledge to give charity following the holid ay in honor of the deceased. By giving charity\, w e are performing a positive physical deed in this world\, something that the departed can no longer do.
\n \nThe soul gains additional merit if the memory of its good deeds spur their loved one s to improve their ways.
