Children of Israel is proud to have launched the Youngstown Yahrzeit Initiative, a community effort to help provide in-person weekday yahrzeit minyanim in Youngstown. At present, to the best of our knowledge, Children of Israel’s Sunday morning minyan is the only in-person weekday minyan available. We recognize the significant community need—particularly for those wishing to recite Kaddish in the traditional manner they were accustomed to prior to COVID-19—and are working to develop a sustainable solution.
This initiative is being organized for the benefit of the entire Youngstown Jewish community. All are welcome to participate, with no additional commitments and regardless of synagogue affiliation.
Those interested in participating and/ or helping others say Kaddish are invited to email coiyoungstown@gmail.com for more information.
