Yahrzeit (literally ‘anniversary’ in the Yiddish language) is the anniversary of the Jewish calendar date when someone died.  It is traditional to light a 24 hour memorial candle on the evening before and to go to Synagogue to recite the kaddish (memorial prayer).
You can calculate the yahrzeit for a specific date by clicking here.  If you are having difficulty calculating the date of the yahrzeit, please be in touch with Rabbi Kurzer (07593 034381).
Pinner Shul sends yahrzeit reminders to our members, with details of when to light the memorial candle, times of services and memorial prayers.
If you are commemorating a yahrzeit for a loved one soon, we hope that their memory will serve as a blessing and we wish you a long life.
