Our Day of Remembrance

And, no, Yizkor is not the name of the storm in the pic. It is the Hebrew name of memorial services for the dead normally held four times in any Jewish calendar year. As far as the Gulf Coast is concerned, I feel the day Hurricane Katrina made landfall in these parts is another occasion for a yizkor service of sorts, which already seems to be happening online.

R'fuah shleimah (healing and health) to all families still feeling the effects of the storm and its terrible aftermath.
