On Wednesday, April 22, the Center for Spiritual Life will hold our annual Moment of Remembrance at the final Peace Circle of the year. We will remember those who have died in the past year – immediate members of the Brandeis community, as well loved ones of members of our community.

Please join us at 12:00 p.m. at the Peace Circle (between Usdan and the library) for a brief, reflective gathering. The rain location will be the Peace Room, located on the ground floor of Usdan West.

Our hope is that this gathering offers a measure of comfort and consolation to those grieving and strengthens our sense of community and solidarity. If you would like a loved one to be remembered at the service, please submit their name by Wednesday, April 15 at bit.ly/deisremembrance26
