You now know why and for whom you light a Yahrzeit memorial candle. You will need the Yahrzeit Lighting Dates according to the Hebrew Calendar's Month and Day.

The Hebrew calendar is the annual calendar used in Judaism. Also known as the Jewish calendar. The Jewish calendar primarily uses the moon to calculate the beginning of each month. This is also called a Lunar Calendar and each Hebrew Calendar month begins with a new moon. Rosh Chodesh, the new moon, the new month defines as 'head of the month'.

Rosh Chodesh often relates to women since each month symbolizes a cycle. Groups of women gather together and either study women commentary of Torah or woman issues of today with Judaism as the guide. Often, woman discover how Judaism, its ancient texts relate to modern life. Those who study and prepare for their Adult Bat Mitzvah discover how their Torah portion, they would of read at age 13, relates to their adult life as well.

Interested in starting a Rosh Chodesh group and or becoming an Adult Bat Mitzvah (for men; Adult Bar Mitzvah)

The Jewish Calendar is similar to our secular calendars; each month has a Hebrew month, day and year, but they are not in sync with each other. When you view the 20-year Yahrzeit Lighting Dates, you will notice right away the day and date are different with the secular date of death. Confused, re-read the article Remembering the Yahrzeit – Why to Light a Yahrzeit Memorial Candle?



Normally, the funeral home provides the calendar with the Yahrzeit Lighting dates to assist the immediate families. Often, the twenty years pass and the family members are not really sure when to light the Yahrzeit. If you have your expired Yahrzeit Lighting Calendar and need assistance on when to light the next Yahrzeit, please contact Rabbi Andrea. Each beloved family member whom 'past on', do on different secular dates, different times of the day and evenings.

Tzedakah?
How one was to perform righteous acts was laid out in an elaborate set of instructions — first in the written law, Torah, and then in the oral law, Talmud, for the Jewish people. These acts of giving became interwoven into the basic foundation of Jewish society. It is a fundamental part of the Jewish way of life. Tzedakah is of course voluntary, of ones own free will. Shalom
