Yahrtzeit

Commemorating a Yahrtzeit

It is a custom in Klal Yisroel to light a Yahrtzeit candle on the day that a relative has passed away. The lighting of a candle, along with the giving of Tzedaka and learning Torah for the departed, enables the soul to be elevated to extreme heights, resulting in great benefit to the Neshama. Commemorating the deceased's memory in these ways brings tremendous merit for you and your family to be blessed with longevity, health, and success.
