QUESTION: Why are special
prayers said for the dead on the
last day of Passover april Is.
1851 in the form of "Yizkor?"
ANSWER: Basically, as men
toned in the Midrash, it is GUS
tomary to remember the dead
every Saturday. The reason given
for this is that the deceased are
released from the Gehenna on
the Sabbath and returned hereto
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1954-04-23

every Saturday night. The heirs
thus recite special prayers for
them so that they be forgotten
and will not have to return to the
Gehenna after the Sabbath is
over. This reasoning could thus
also apply to the last day of the
major festivals, such as Passover,
Shavuoth and Succoth. The dead
are likewise released from the
Gehenna on festivals and thus
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1954-04-23
West Palm Beach, Florida

prayers are said for them on the
last day of the festival so that
they shall not have to return
there after the festival. A special
case seems to be made on the Day
of Atonement with the premise
that the dead need atonement for
their sins even after they are
dead, and this atonement comes
from the prayers and the charity
offered for them by the living. In
this sense even the three seasonal
festivals are days of judgment
too, e. g., Passover, the day OF
Judgment for the crops, Shavuoth
for the fruits of the trees and
Succoth for the water. Thus the
dead are remembered on the last
day of these festivals too. Many
sources claim that the dead are
remembered on the last day OF
the festivals such as Passover,
Shavuoth and Succoth because of
the portion of the Bible COM
manding the Israelites to give
charity upon their visits to the
Temple at festivals is read on the
last day of each of these three
holidays. Charity is a great bene-
factor for the deceased and thus
they are remembered and charity
is pledged in their behalf. It has
also been suggested by some that
the souls of the deceased were
felt to be in the Temple during
the festivals to join their heirs in
offering prayers and sacrifices to
the Lord.
| QUESTION: Why are all the
lights in the synagogue. includ-
ing those of the memorial tablets
lit on the last day of a festival
such as Passover?
ANSWER: This is done principal
| ly because the dead are brought
to mind on this day and the soul
has always been represented by
the figure of candle or light.
Thus the lights are lit to remind
us of the souls of the departed so
that we pray for them and offer
charity in their behalf.
