22 “The memory of the righteous shall be a blessing.”
At this memorial hour we recall our rabbi, founding member, congregants, and
loved ones of our congregational family who passed away in 5780.
Eternal God, Source of all mercy, give us the gift of remembering. May our memories of the departed be both tender and true, undiminished by time, not falsified by sentimentality. Let us recall them and love them as they were. Give us the gift of tears. Let us express our sense of loss, our sorrow, and our pain, as well as our gratitude and love. Give us the gift of prayer. May You comfort us with an open heart and trusting faith. Give us the gift of hope. May we always believe in the beauty of life, the power of goodness, the right to joy. May we surrender our being, and the souls of the departed, to Your eternal compassion.

We are so thankful for the love and guidance of Rabbi Adam Feldman, who guided us and helped us grow as a congregation and as individuals. He sought us out when we were struggling, listened compassionately, and helped us to overcome obstacles. He taught us with enthusiasm, connecting us to Torah and to each other. He modeled for us from the bima his passion for Judaism, Israel, and our B’nai Mitzvot. He sought us out when we were struggling, listened carefully, and helped us to overcome obstacles. He advocated for strong Jewish identity for all our families. He taught us with enthusiasm, connecting us to Torah and to each other. He deepened our ties with leaders in the broader Princeton community, making friends we could call on in times of trouble. He helped nurture and lead community organizations he cared about deeply, like the hospital’s Religious Ministries department that he cofounded and the Princeton Clergy Association. He mentored the Jewish Center’s leaders, providing a steady hand as he advocated for the interests of the congregation as a whole. He galvanized bold programs that created memories for Princeton congregants, like reuniting Holocaust Torahs from the small Czech village of Susice for Yom Ha-Shoah, lighting 834 menorahs together in celebrating Hanukkah at the Princeton Airport, enabling individuals and families to join the sofer as she inscribed the finishing letters in our repaired Torah. As we move forward as a congregation, we are so grateful for the work Rabbi Adam Feldman did in giving us a solid base and the courage to step forward spiritually.

We Remember Them
by Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer
In the rising of the sun and in its going down, we remember them.
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
we remember them.
In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, we remember them.
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer,
we remember them.
In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, we remember them.
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
we remember them.
When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them.
So long as we live, they too shall live,
for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.

When All That's Left Is Love
by Rabbi Allen S. Maller
When I die If you need to weep
Cry for someone Walking the street beside you.
You can love me most by letting Hands touch hands, and
Souls touch souls. You can love me most by
Sharing your Simchas (goodness) and Multiplying your Mitzvot (acts of kindness).
You can love me most by Letting me live in your eyes
And not on your mind. And when you say Kaddish for me
Remember what our Torah teaches,
Love doesn’t die People do.
So when all that’s left of me is love Give me away.

Togetherness
Death is nothing at all - I have only slipped away into the next room,
Whatever we were to each other,
That we are still;
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, Smile, Think of me, Pray for me.
Let my name be the household word that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant;
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.
All is well, nothing is Past, nothing is Lost;
One brief moment and all will be as it was before -
Only better;
Infinitely happier and forever
We will all be one… together.

Reflections
WHEN GOD CLAIMS GOD’S OWN
Something precious is taken from us, and we think of it as something we have lost, instead of something we have had. We remember only how empty our lives are now, we forget how full and rich they were before; we forget all the many days and years of happiness we lived while our beloved was still with us. We praise God for our treasures while we have them; we cease to praise God for them when they have fled. But God never gives; God only lends. What is life itself but a loan? When God claims God’s own shall we rebel? Instead of murmuring because God takes our precious things from us, let us be grateful to God for having spared them to us so long. Let us count the past happy days not as loss, but as gain. We have had them; and, now that they are end-ed, let us turn the loss to glorious gain—the gain that comes with new courage, with nobler tasks, with a wider outlook on life and duty.
Rabbi Morris Joseph

Mourners' Kaddish for Everyday By Debra Cash
Build me up of memory loving and angry, tender and honest. Let my loss build me a heart of wisdom, compassion for the world’s many losses
Each hour is mortal and each hour is eternal and each hour is our testament. May I create worthy memories all the days of my life.
Jewish Blessing of the Mourners
Those who are worn out and crushed by
this mourning, let your hearts consider
this:
This is the path that has existed from the
time of creation and will exist forever.
Many have drunk from it and many will
yet drink.
As was the first meal, so shall be the
last.
May the master of comfort comfort you.
Blessed are those who comforts the
mourners
Consolation
By Harold M. Schulweis
I would comfort you, dear friend wipe away your tears Turn your sorrow into joy. I would console you With words of ancient wisdom Of the need for acceptance of the inevitable The inexorable course of life. I would speak to you of The immortality of influence The afterlife of memory The echo of goodness In the cavern of our lives.
Yet the sages caution Not in haste To console the bereaved Not too soon To begin the healing.
I would raise the heavy weight From your heart, Wave a wand and transform your grief. But the heart has its own wisdom Sets its own time And will not be rushed. Now is the time for silence the dumb silence that awaits The coming of a new mood, And a brighter spirit With you, friend, I will be silent Tomorrow we will speak.

What soap is for the body, tears are for the soul. - Jewish Proverb
The 'gift' of grief is that it presents us with the opportunity to heal and grow. - Jewish Proverb
To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven. – Ecclesiastes
Say not in grief 'he is no more' but in thankfulness that he was. - Hebrew Proverb
As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now are a part of us; as we remember them. - Jewish Prayer
God is closest to those with broken hearts. - Jewish Proverb

SOME DAYS
They tell me life’s a journey That will take me many years Some days are filled with laughter And some days are filled with tears Some days I think my heart will break That I can’t persevere
Some days I have to don a mask And hide beneath its veneer
Some days I turn and look for you
With thoughts I’d like to share Some days I just can’t understand
The reason you’re not there
Some days the sadness leaves me And my smile will reappear
Some days I close my eyes because Your memory is so clear
Some days I struggle to go on
Just wishing you were near Most days I spend in gratitude
That you were ever here

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I’m following the path God laid for me. I took God’s hand when I heard the call; I turned my back, and left it all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full. I savored much - Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief; Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me It’s my time; I’ve been set free. Author unknown

DEATH IS NOT THE ENEMY
I often feel that death is not the enemy of life, but its friend; for it is the knowledge that our years are limited which makes them so precious. It is the truth that time is but lent to us which makes us at our best and helps us look upon our years as a trust handed into our temporary keeping. We are like children privileged to spend a day in a great park, a park filled with many gardens and playgrounds, azure-tinted lakes with white boats sailing upon the tranquil waves. True, the day allotted to each of us is not the same in length, in light, in beauty. Some children of earth are privileged to spend a long and sunlit day in the garden of the earth. For others the day is shorter, cloudier, and dusk descends more quickly as in a winter’s tale. But whether our life is a long summery day or a shorter wintry afternoon, we know that inevitably there are storms and squalls which overcast even the bluest heaven and there are sunlight rays which pierce the darkest autumn sky. The day that we are privileged to spend in the great park of life is not the same for all human beings; but there is enough beauty and joy and gaiety in the hours, if we will but treasure them. Then for each of us the moment comes when the great nurse, death, takes us by the hand and quietly says, “It is your bedtime, child of earth. Come, you’re tired. Lie down at last in the quiet nursery of nature and sleep. Sleep well. The day is gone. Stars shine in the canopy of eternity.” Joshua Loth Liebman
