Yizkor - Stories of our ancestors - יזכור
By continuing the relationship with deceased loved ones, one remembers them for their influence on us and the continuing path of life. When our positive actions and mitzvot are inspired by the life of one who has passed on, and are motivated by the desire and goal that such mitzvot be in the merit of the loved one, we give life and growth to their soul in the next world.
