MANAGING THE SCREEN

With Yahrzeit Interactive, your synagogue’s yahrzeit data is simple to manage, and can be done from any computer with internet access. An employee or volunteer simply logs in to the Y.I. website and follows the on-screen instructions. We’ve designed the system to be easy to learn, with no special training required. Plus, our online help manual is always just a click away.

YAHRZEIT DATES

All Yahrzeit Dates in the system start as a Gregorian Calendar date. When an Admin selects "Save Changes" the system automatically calculates the Hebrew Calendar Date.

USING THE HEBREW CALENDAR

Clicking the checkbox "Use Hebrew Calendar" will cause a Memorial to display on the appropriate day on the lunar calendar.

WORKING WITH PHOTOS

Each Memorial can display up to 6 custom photographs. Simply Click the upload box or drag photos into the upload box

Photo Order can be changed by clicking and dragging the photos into the desired order. Each photo can have 1 caption which will display in the Memorial
