Arrange Kaddish for a Loved One
"It is heartening to know that our donation is helping someone who is striving to support their family while honouring our father's memory.
Your kind words and the opportunity to contribute to such a worthy cause bring us great comfort."
Jewish tradition teaches that when a loved one leaves this world, their soul lives on. Saying the Mourner’s Kaddish is one of the most meaningful ways we can bring them an aliyat neshama, an honor and elevation of the soul - granting it merit and lasting remembrance.
Kaddish is recited three times daily for the first 11 months after the passing of a parent, and 30 days after death of a spouse, sibling or child. It is also said each year on a person's Yahrtzeit (anniversary of their passing).
Not everyone is able to say the Mourner’s Kaddish themselves - but American Friends of Yad Eliezer/B’ezri can help.
Through our Kaddish program, a dedicated avrech (Torah scholar) in Israel will be appointed to recite Kaddish in memory of your loved one.
By sponsoring Kaddish, you fulfill two important and meaningful mitzvot at once: honoring the soul of someone dear, while supporting individuals in need. Your loved one’s memory lives on through compassion and giving.
The following are Kaddish sponsorship options:
$72 – Yahrtzeit Donation
$100 – Kaddish Recited for 30 Days
$360 – Yahrtzeit Sponsorship
$500 – Yahrtzeit Sponsorship
$1,100 – Kaddish Recited for First Year (11 mos)
$2,500 – Kaddish for First Year with Daily Mishnayot Learning in Merit of a Loved One
In order to have Kaddish recited, please send us:
1. Your name (preferably Hebrew).
2. The name of the deceased: their Hebrew name (if available) and their father's Hebrew name
-e.g. "Miriam bas Chaim"-Miriam, daughter of Chaim
If you are unsure of the proper spelling, you may write it phonetically and we will ensure it is pronounced correctly during the recitation. If you do not have the Hebrew name, please submit the name you use regularly- in any language.
3. The Hebrew date of their passing. If you only have the Gregorian (English) date, you can look up the Hebrew equivalent

Tizku L'mitzvot. And as we say, "T'hei Nishmato Tzrura B'tzror HaChaim":
May the soul of your beloved departed be bound in the bond of life.
