The best way to honor or memorialize a relative or friend is by doing a mitzvah in their name; this serves to elevate the individual's soul since they were the catalyst for the mitzvah. This is particularly beneficial to the departed who can no longer accomplish this for themselves. Therefore, a donation to support Cong. Poile Zedek can be particularly meaningful to the family of the departed or to the individual whom you are honoring.
Donations can be made to Poile Zedek via our website: www.poilezedek.org or by check to Cong. Poile Zedek, P.O. Box 166, New Brunswick, NJ 08903. An acknowledgment will be sent to the honoree or family of the departed. Please be sure to indicate in whose name the donation is being made and the reason for the donation, as well as the address for the acknowledgment.
