Make time for memory

A meaningful day. A small family project.

Choose an occasion, prepare early, and preserve one part of your family's story together.

A family calendar before Rosh Hashanah

Gather birthdays, anniversaries and memorial dates before the new year.

Begin 10–12 weeks before Rosh Hashanah; verify dates 4 weeks before sharing.

Bring names, sources and remembrance dates together before Yom Kippur.

Begin 8–10 weeks before Yom Kippur, leaving time for family and rabbinic clarification.

Use photographs and familiar objects to invite stories across generations.

Write down the ingredients, methods and memories behind your family's preparations.

Start 10–12 weeks before Pesach, while there is time for an unhurried conversation.

Start 12 weeks before the reunion; send questions 6 weeks ahead and confirm permissions before printing.

A considered preservation project around Holocaust remembrance, led by the wishes of the person sharing.

Begin at least 12 weeks before the remembrance occasion. Participation must never be tied to a deadline.
