Upon the request of Bais Din Rabonei Chabad in Eretz Yisroel, a Minyan of Chabad – Coronavirus patients, currently at the Prima Palace Hotel in Yerushalayim, are offering their services to recite Yizkor on behalf of those that will not have a Minyan on Yom Tov.
This is from the only “legal” Minyanim in Israel, and they feel the responsibility to fill in for those that can’t Daven with a Minyan.
Simply enter your info on this form, and one of the members of this Minyan will recite the names of your loved ones during Yizkor.

Please forward this information to however you know that can benefit from this service.
Unlike kaddish, yizkor does not need a minyan. There is no reason to have someone else say yizkor for you, when you can say it just as well yourself, at home.
But they will be saying it while holding a Torah scroll and with minyan
Since when does Yizkor require a minyan?!
If there is ANY halachic source for this (that Yizkor “requires” a minyan), PLEASE share!!
It is not our minhag to light a yortzeit licht each time we say yizkor.
