Welcome to Temple Emanu-El!

Dear Beloved Temple Emanu-El Community:
For those of you who still wish to pick up your Yahrzeit and dedication plaques, please call Carol Ann Goldberg at 917.539.1701 or e-mail [email protected], and fill out the Request for Artifacts form HERE . Plaques must be picked up by July 31st. In rare cases where families live miles away, we can make arrangements with families to send the plaques. Each plaque is 1lb/5oz. We ask that the families pay for the shipping and packaging costs. Please use the link HERE to schedule a time for you to come to the temple so that we can prepare, in advance, your bundle of Yahrzeit plaques, dedication plaques and precious artifacts (some evenings and Sunday afternoons are available). Reminder: only families who are joining Temple Emanuel Andover are allowed to bring their Yahrzeit plaques with them for display in the Andover temple. Placement in Andover: For those coming to Andover, your Yahrzeit plaques will be hung in alphabetical order on the Cohen and Paul boards. You do not need to pick up your plaques, but we need to you to contact us to confirm what plaques are coming to Andover. In filing out forms, remember that it was common tradition for women to create Yahrzeit plaques for their parents, even though the parents lived in different communities. So please remember to request plaques with your mother's maiden surnames! For plaques of families who sadly have no descendants and for those who do not wish to take their plaques, the remainder will be stored in the chapel at the Children of Israel Cemetery. Plaques will not be buried. |
