The Yahrtzeit (anniversary of a loved one's passing) is a time to remember the person in the synagogue by reciting the Kaddish prayer, through the giving of extra charity, and through learning.
Jewish Law requires that the Kaddish be recited during the first eleven months following the death of a loved one by prescribed mourners, and on each anniversary of the death (the "Yahrtzeit").
The obligation of mourning and Kaddish is primarily on the deceased children, only if there are no children does the obligation of mourning fall on a spouse or closest blood relative.
In the event that the children are not able to recite Kaddish, it is necessary that they find someone who will recite Kaddish for them.
If you are in doubt regarding who is to mourn, please contact our office and we will be happy to assist you.
You can arrange for Kaddish to be said at each of the daily services.
