Yizkor sermons tend to be challenging for rabbis because we give a lot of them.\xa0 We say Yizkor four times a year.\xa0 If you do the math year after year, that is a lot of Yizkor sermons, and what is there new to say?\xa0 What is there to say that we haven\u2019t said before?\xa0 That you haven\u2019t heard before?

I wish we had that problem again this year.\xa0 Unfortunately we don\u2019t.\xa0 This is a Yizkor with an entirely fresh angle.\xa0 The last time we said Yizkor was October 7.\xa0 I don\u2019t need to tell you that the months since October 7 have been, and continue to be, the most harrowing for the Jewish people, since the Shoah.\xa0What is the impact of this hard new chapter on our private Yizkor mediations now?
