Detailed
Description		    This prayer-sheet in Judeo-German is intended to be used by worshippers at the Hazkarat (mentioning of the souls), memorial prayer. The prayer is divided into several sections; the principal part opens the prayer with the words, "Yizkor" ("May G-d remember... the soul..."). In common language the prayer has therefore become known as Yizkor or Mazkir. Hazkarat Neshamot expresses the fervent hope that the departed souls will enjoy eternal life in G-d's presence. In the Ashkenazi ritual, it is said after the reading of the Torah, during the morning service of the last day of Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot (the three pilgrimage festivals), and on the Day of Atonement. In the Sephardi rite it is recited also on the Day of Atonement eve before Ma’ariv.
