San Francisco Hillel is heartbroken by the tragic loss of Shmulik ​Boikaner z"l.

Shmulik's friends have organized a memorial to be in community and to remember and celebrate the life of Shmulik, held on Saturday, March 11th from 4 - 7 pm at San Francisco Hillel (33 Banbury Drive).

Mourner's Kaddish

Reflect through poetry

We Remember Them by Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer

At the rising sun and at its going down; We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter; We remember them.
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring; We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer; We remember them.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of the autumn; We remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends; We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as We remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength; We remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart; We remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make; We remember them.
When we have joy we crave to share; We remember them.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs; We remember them.
For as long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as, We remember them.
