Yahrzeit Lists

+Yahrzeits

The Yahrzeit (the anniversary of the death of a loved one) is remembered by lighting a twenty-four hour memorial candle, by making a charitable contribution in memory of the departed, and by reciting Kaddish. Kaddish is recited at the Maariv service that precedes the Yahrzeit and at Yizkor services throughout the year. The Yahrzeit occurs on the same date every year according to the Hebrew calendar. In Hebrew, Yizkor means "May He Remember".
