The
Yahrtzeit is observed annually on the Jewish date of death. When
death occurs after sunset, it is the following day that is used to
calculate the Yahrtzeit. When three or more days have elapsed from
the day of death until the interment, the first Yahrtzeit is observed
on the anniversary of the interment. On all subsequent years it is
observed on the anniversary of the death. The Yahrtzeit begins at
sunset on the preceeding day and is concluded at sunset of the day
of death. During the observance of the Yahrtzeit, a memorial
Yahrtzeit candle is kept burning and the Mourner's Kaddish is
recited during services in the Synagogue. |
