Yahrzeit
Yahrzeit is the annual remembrance of a death observed by reciting the Mourner’s Kaddish and burning a Yahrzeit candle for 24 hours. Traditionally the observance begins on the Hebrew date of death and the candle is lit at sunset. When a death occurs after sunset, the following day is used to observe the Yahrzeit.
Yahrzeit Reminder
Our sister website, National Jewish Memorial Wall (NJMW.org), provides an electronic Yahrzeit Reminder as an easy way to remember both the English and Hebrew Yahrzeit dates for loved ones.
Each year NJMW.org will send an email, along with a copy of the Mourner's Kaddish, to honor the memory of a loved one. You'll have the option to set a reminder for yourself as well as for family members and friends.
