Life Cycle Events

Judaism teaches us to mark transitions with ritual to help us celebrate, heal and grieve together with loved ones and community.

Rabbi Berman is available to guide, offer counsel and officiate life cycle rituals for all of our members and their families. And the Reyim community is here to celebrate with and support you as mark important life cycle events such as:

  • Brit Milah

  • Baby namings
  • B’nei Mitzvah
  • Gender transitions and name changes
  • Engagements
  • Weddings
  • Separations and divorce
  • Conversions and affirmations
  • Illness
  • End of life
  • Loss
  • Mourning

Please be in touch with Rabbi Berman. Those wishing to engage Rabbi Berman as officiant who are not yet members are encouraged to join Reyim.

Memorial Plaques

You may honor a loved one whom you have lost by installing a memorial plaque in their memory.

The Memorial Room at the entrance to the Sanctuary is for those who have passed away. The plaques here are  about 3” tall and 5” wide. ($270)

The Goldweitz Chapel houses two large displays that hold larger, bronze memorial plaques. On a yahrzeit, the plaque is illuminated using small lights on either side of the plaque. ($360)

Please be in touch with our community member Bryon Rakoff.

Tree of Life

The Tree of Life, in our shul lobby, celebrates life events, such as weddings or B’nei Mitzvah, or to acknowledge or honor the accomplishments of our members ($180). The Tree has several “stones” that can also be engraved ($720). Please be in touch with Bryon Rakoff.
