Yizkor Booklet, Large Two-Fold with Brown Cover, Ashkenaz

A two-fold Yizkor under a brown cover, printed large. The size is the point: Yizkor is said standing, often by people who are not holding their own machzor and are not wearing their reading glasses, and a large two-fold puts the words where they can be read without anyone squinting at a small page or losing their place.

It is printed in nusach Ashkenaz. The two-fold format opens flat in one motion and closes back to something that stacks — which is what a shul actually needs, since Yizkor booklets get handed out in a crowd at a specific moment and collected again a few minutes later.

Shuls order these in quantity for the four times a year Yizkor is said, and families order a smaller number to have on hand for a yahrtzeit. The brown cover is deliberately plain and keeps it from looking like a Yom Tov giveaway, which matters for the occasion it is meant for. Nothing to select beyond how many are needed.
