from yiri :

>> Yearly appeals during High Holiday services:  
>>      [Raphael: Contrary to the spirit of the day.]
>>      [Yiri: Heartily agree!]

from asher :

 the concept of an appeal on those days when 'yizkor' is said in shul comes
from SHULCHAN ARUCH, YOREH DE'AH 249:16, in the RAMO. paraphrased into english,
he says : that which people obligate themselves to give tzedakah 'for' ('avur)
the dead (i.e., in their memory) at the times of saying yizkor, is an
old/ancient custom (minhag vatikin), and it helps for the souls of those
departed ones.
 the TAZ says that the source of this halachah is ORACH CHAIM 621:6, in the
RAMO; and that it is based on that which the BEIS YOSEF brings in the name of
the MORDECHAI; and that the reason for this is based on the ROKEACH 217.
