Jewish Moment – presented by Eddie Pantiliat / Hymson, Goldstein, Pantiliat and Lohr
What is the obligation to mark the passing of our loved ones (Yarzeit)? Eddie reminds us that there are two obligations: We say Kaddish, and we attend Yizkor Services (on Yom Kippur and during some other Jewish Holidays). While Kaddish is a prayer we recite during the yarzeit, Yizkor is a promise to give tzedakah to a Jewish Charity on behalf of your loved one who has passed. Jacob Lieferman also reminds us to light the 24 hour candle on the evening of the Yarzeit.
