CBST’s Interactive Memorial Board
On display in The Kuriel Chapel and Online
Judaism recognizes the blessing of memory. We are comforted by our tradition of Yortzeit and the beautiful Kaddish prayer recited each year upon the anniversary of a loved one’s passing. Memorial plaques are inscribed with the names of our loved ones and their date of death.
Plaques are lit during the anniversary week and for Yizkor (Remembrance) communal observances. CBST sends reminders and names are read from the bimah on Shabbat. CBST Members may dedicate plaques and, through an act of tzedakah, create a lasting tribute to loves ones lost to us in life, but not in memory. Contact CBST to discuss other tribute opportunities.
The Interactive Memorial Board in CBST’s Kuriel Chapel includes all Members’ names memorialized in The Wine Family Sanctuary, as well as all Family and Friends whose names were memorialized on plaques in The Kuriel Chapel. These are viewable on-site, and also online here.
You may:
- View Yortzeit names of the week, or a scrolling view of all Yortzeits during Yizkor
- Personalize a tribute with details, such as adding a biography and photo to any memorial
- Add new Memorials at any time
Also, we have search features, like one might see at a museum, or interactive exhibit. Including:
- Searching from the touch screen in The Kuriel Chapel
- Accessing and viewing CBST memorials online from anywhere in the world
- Viewing relatives who are also memorialized in the system
For CBST Members: New Memorials may be added for a donation of $1,080 which include your loved one’s biography and a photo.
