Company Profile

Yizkor.com is a pioneering, not-for-profit initiative dedicated to permanently preserving the memory of Jewish men and women. Through the medium of online web pages, Yizkor.com introduces a powerful vehicle for the creation of enduring and interactive memorials to loved ones, each a celebration of their life on earth, each an inspiration for generations to come.

Yizkor.com, named for the moving memorial prayer by the same name, owes its creation to Tikva, a Ukrainian orphanage that cares for 200 of the world’s poorest Jewish children. Whether orphaned or abandoned, these children have few if any ties to parents or family. They have no connection to their past and consequently no legacy for their future. It is their story that inspired the directors of Tikva to turn to the technology of internet to create a repository for permanent online memorials.

With Yizkor.com, those grappling with life’s most difficult rite of passage are empowered by the ability to preserve the memory of a loved one, from eulogy to legacy, in love and respect, for children and grandchildren, in perpetuity.

The cornerstones of Yizkor.com are: Comfort, Connection, and Continuity.

  1. Comfort: Yizkor.com provides access to those who wish to offer condolences and cannot do so in person. Through messages or the simple act of “leaving a stone,” friends and relatives can share in the grieving process notwithstanding distance. By participating, individuals help to relieve the isolation that is suffered by the mourners and provide strong bonds of support to the grief-stricken. The online “shiva visits” are then incorporated into the permanent memorial
  2. Connection: Over time Yizkor.com becomes a repository for a designated family member, or “administrator,” to reflect on the life of the loved one with an historical record, timelines, achievements, photographs, and family trees, and for others to submit their own stories, tributes, and memories. These are incorporated into the permanent memorial. Also, through the Video Facilitation Program, Yizkor.com provides an online chronicle of the funeral service that is available to those who cannot attend and which is incorporated into the permanent memorial.
  3. Continuity: Yizkor.com pioneers the creation of a global community that unites, via the internet, to document, archive, and share the life and passing of a loved one and memorializes his legacy in perpetuity.
