Yahrzeit

Yahrzeit is a Jewish observance commemorating the anniversary of a loved one's death. It is marked by lighting a candle that burns for 24 hours, reciting the Kaddish prayer, and reflecting on the deceased's life. This solemn observance typically takes place each year on the Hebrew calendar date corresponding to the person's death. Yahrzeit serves as a way for family and friends to honor and remember those who have passed away, fostering a connection with their memory and legacy within the community.
