YIZKOR ON YOM KIPPUR:

This year, at all our Yom Kippur minyanim, Yizkor will not be recited at its traditional slot immediately after the Haftarah. Instead, it will be recited at the conclusion of davening, after the final kaddish of Mussaf. Those who will be reciting Yizkor may stay at their seats; those who will not be reciting Yizkor are encouraged to exit and avoid congregating.

The Drasha will be sponsored by Jeremy and Tova Renna in memory of his mother, Miriam bat Yitzchak Isaac ז"ל and Yehuda and Faigie Hecht in memory of his father, Moshe Yaakov ben Chaim ז"ל.
