IMPORTANT
SECURITY UPDATE

Due to current events we are changing our method for securing the building during Shabbat.  All perimeter doors will remain locked.  You may either use your code to enter the lobby or there will be someone attending the door.  This will remain in effect until further notice.

Memorialize your loved ones
There are many ways to honor and/or memorialize our loved ones. Among the customs in Jewish tradition to honor the memory of those we have lost is to place a yahrzeit plaque on the wall of the synagogue as a permanent tribute.
 
At Congregation Rodeph Sholom, a yahrzeit memorial plaque may be purchased, for both members and non-members, and affixed upon the wall of our sanctuary.
 
For information or to purchase your yahrzeit memorial plaque, call the synagogue office at 813-837-1911 or email at info@rsholom.org​​​​​​​.
