	NYPL, Dorot Jewish Division, About Holocaust Memorial Books
		True to this spirit, the activists in the post-war yizkor book revival sought both to commemorate the dead and to recollect and celebrate, as well, the quality of life of the communities of which they had been a part.
		Where yizkor books contain lists of names, therefore, these are prefaced by personal memoirs and biographical sketches, and much emphasis is placed, too, on essays that describe local Jewish society in all the diversity represented by its organizations: political, intellectual, artistic, professional, and recreational, as well as philanthropic and spiritual.
		The yizkor book holdings of the Dorot Jewish Division of The New York Public Library are the most extensive in the United States, with upwards of 90% of the titles listed in Baker's bibliography.

	Yizkor: The memory of his baby sister keeps Ari Saks in services during Yizkor.
		Yizkor is probably the most controversial of all prayers in the siddur.
		Yizkor, the prayer of remembrance, which is said four times a year on Yom Kippur, Shimini Atzeret, Pesach and Shavuot, epitomizes many of the issues concerning prayer's role in Judaism.
		There are "Yizkor-is-not-for-me" Jews who either come to shul regularly or once in a while who leave during Yizkor because either their parents are alive and they don't want to tempt the "evil eye" (ayin hara) or they think they have no one for which to say Yizkor.

	l e a r n @ j t s PARASHAH COMMENTARY Yizkor 5761 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		At the Yizkor service, where these names were read aloud, the community would grieve for the past even as it prepared for the future.
		But beyond that, the nomenclature points to the reason that Yizkor was affixed to the last days of Pesah, Shavuot and Sukkot, although it took years of puzzlement on my part before I saw the ingenious connection.
		The final passage, in accord with Deuteronomy's preoccupation to centralize the cult, emphasizes the obligation of all males to journey to the national shrine on each of the three pilgrimage festivals (hence the name).

	Yizkor
		Yizkor is said following the Torah and Haftarah readings on Yom Kippur, on the last day of Passover, on the second day of Shavout, and on the eighth day of Sukkot (Shemini Atzeret).
		Yizkor also includes a pledge for charity, which is something that is believed to help avert a harsh decree.
		The earliest source for Yizkor is in the Midrash Tanchuma, which cites the custom of remembering the departed and pledging charity on their behalf on Yom Kippur.

	[No title]
		If a Yizkor book exists, a researcher can expect to find a vast amount of genealogical material on the community where an ancestor lived and possibly about their family.
		Once a genealogist finds a Yizkor book, and once she or he locates any entries in the book that pertain to their ancestors there are several ways they could take.
		A Yizkor book will often contain large amount of information about individuals, families, clans and communities, including historical references which are otherwise hard to find such as the Jewish origin in an area and settlement patterns of Jews on a local basis.

	Yizkor
		Another concept surrounding yizkor is the idea of being a proper mourner, and a proper comforter.
		Now that I have done Yizkor for ten years, the words of charity and bonds of life have finally found meaning for me. Charity is a way of continuing to be with the deceased.
		Yizkor is not only allowing us to remember the deceased, but showing us how to be there for the bereaved.

	The Yizkor Service - OU.ORG
		This is especially significant in connection with the Yizkor of Yom Kippur, when the living and the dead are visited by the Judge of All Worlds, and Atonement is sought by the living for themselves as well as for departed generations.
		Yizkor is also recited on the three major Festivals, Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (The Feast of Weeks) and Sukkot, holidays on which the Jewish People are obligated to appear not empty-handed, at the Temple in Jerusalem.
		Mainly for his benefit, synagogues would estimate the exact time for Yizkor's appearance in the Service, and Services might be held up in case of early arrival at the Yizkor point, and woe to the Prayer-leader and the Rabbi if the time was exceeded.

	HMP: Yizkor
		In Hebrew, Yizkor means 'may God remember.' Traditionally, a yahrzeit candle is lit at sunset the night before each of these holidays to remember the deceased.
		Originally, in the 12th century, the Yizkor service was said only on Yom Kippur to remember and honor those who were killed in pogroms and the Crusades.
		The first word of the memorial prayer is Yizkor, and the prayers contain blank spaces where the names of deceased loved ones are recited.
