About Us

The loss of a close family member is a universal human experience. Traditional Jewish mourning customs help a person deal with the loss, encourage friends and family to offer support, and provide ways to honor the memory of the deceased.

Now, Familyyahrzeit.com helps bereaved Jewish families perpetuate, honor and share the cherished memories of family members and friends who have passed away – more efficiently, effectively and reliably than ever before.

In light of the growth of social networking sites amongst the Jewish community and the success of dating and “smachot” sites, Familyyahrzeit.com extends the benefits of community-orientated Internet technology to Jewish mourners and bereaved families.

While other online memorial website services already exist, the Jewish mourning cycle has its own special needs - such as the connection to the Jewish calendar and the yahrzeit (anniversary of the death) date. Familyyahrzeit.com addresses these needs, with a technically advanced and reliable platform, making it easy for Jews from all over the world to store and share the memories of loved ones as well as receive access to all the bereavement services.

Familyyahrzeit currently offers services in English, and will soon be adding support for other languages including Hebrew, Russian, French and Spanish.

Familyyahrzeit is designed and owned by Syntab Ltd, an Internet strategy company based in Israel.

The FamilyYarzeit.com website was designed using the Bereavesoft ™ software platform by Syntab Ltd.
