Record Yahrzeit dates, and relationships among Yahrzeits and synagogue members.
Yahrzeits
Maintains Yahrzeit information, by entering the name, Gregorian date of death, and a flag for before or after sunset. System looks up and stores the corresponding Hebrew date. Optionally carries maiden name and Hebrew name.
Accepts spreadsheet upload for entering many Yahrzeits at once.
Associates Yahrzeits with families who committed an entry in a Book of Remembrance.
For those congregations who offer Yahrzeit plaques, the system records the plaque location. This is useful for efficient maintenance of the Yahrzeit lamps, often associated with the Yarhzeit commemoration.
Associates Yahrzeits to the members of the congregation. As a result, when you ask the system something like, “What Yahrzeits occur in the next two weeks?” it shows, not only the Yahrzeits themselves, but also relationships to congregants.
You can designate, by related party, whether the notification should be by Hebrew date, by Gregorian date, or not at all.
Can send instant email to members associated with Yahrzeits.
Can send formatted letters to members associated with Yahrzeits.
Produces lists intended to be read from the Bimah–either by Hebrew date, Gregorian date, or a single consolidated list.
