It’s more than likely that at one time or another you’ve received a Yahrzeit notification from me reminding you of the anniversary of a loved one’s death. It has always been my privilege to do so.
It would appear that, of late, there have been an unusually large number of discrepancies regarding the actual, correct date of commemoration. If you brought this/these mistake(s) to our attention, we thank you.
After some investigating, it appears that the Yahrzeit dates computerized in ShulCloud were incorrectly and automatically defaulted to the Jewish calendar.
Given the fact that the overwhelming number of congregants recall all their loved ones on their secular dates of death, we have corrected the error and, going forward, ALL Yahrzeit dates in our system are now automatically defaulted to the secular calendar.
If you would prefer to commemorate your Yahrzeiten according to the Hewish calendar, we would earnestly request that you call (215 886 8000) or email (jlehner@oyrtbetham.org) Jackie Lehner ASAP so that she can make the appropriate change(s).
Please note that if you don’t contact Jackie to the contrary, all commemorative dates you observe will continue to be a reflection of the secular calendar. (Clearly there’s no need to call the office if that’s your preference!)
Thank you for your timely cooperation in this regard.
