Tree of Life
As you enter the main lobby of the Bess and Moe Greenberg Family Hillel Lodge, you notice a beautiful Tree of Life. Each leaf on the Tree of Life honours and remembers family and friends who have passed. It commemorates life’s special moments such as Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, Anniversaries, and milestone birthdays.
By placing a leaf on the Tree, you are making a positive difference in the lives of Hillel Lodge residents. For more information on next steps, contact the Hillel Lodge LTC Foundation office at 613-728-3990.
Yahrzheit Plaques
It is a Jewish tradition to commemorate the passing of a relative or loved one with a Yahrzheit plaque. The Bess and Moe Greenberg Family Hillel Lodge has dedicated an area near the sanctuary to memorialize those who have departed. Nameplates or plaques are inscribed with the English and Hebrew names of the departed along with the date of death in both the Hebrew and standard calendar. Beside each plaque is a memorial light, which is lit annually on the Yahrzheit and Yizkor services. By placing the name of a loved one on a plaque, you are marking their passing and making a positive impact to benefit the residents of Hillel Lodge.
