We light a candle to honor our grief and give thanks for the lives of our loved ones. This light will guide us towards healing and peace.

What do you say for Yahrzeit?
During yahrzeit, there are no concrete rules about what you can or can’t say. Any prayers are welcome, but most people choose to say common Jewish funeral prayers. People tend to choose what brings them and their loved ones the most joy. On the first day of the Jewish month of Rosh Hashanah, the day before the holiday of Sukkot, we remember the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
This day is also known as the Day of Atonement. It is a time for us to reflect on our relationship with God and to ask Him to forgive us for our sins and for the sins of those around us. We are also reminded that we have a responsibility to love our neighbors as ourselves.
Do you say Kaddish on Yahrzeit?
Kaddish is also said each year on the anniversary of the death (Yahrzeit) and at Yizkor. The rhythmic cadences of Kaddish are soothing to us both in mourning and over the years as we say it at Yizkor, as well as at other times of our lives. The Hebrew word for “Yom Kippur” (the Day of Atonement) is Yom Ha’atzmaut, which means “the day of atonement.”
It is the day on which God forgives us for our sins and for all the wrongs we have done to others, and we are forgiven for the sins we committed in the past. This day is a time for us to reflect on our past actions and to ask God to forgive us of all our wrongdoings. We are also reminded that God is merciful and forgiving and that we should not be afraid to repent and ask for God’s forgiveness.
What time do you light Yahrzeit candles?
When to Light a Yahrzeit Candle It’s a long-standing Jewish custom and a mitzvah to light a Yahrzeit candle that burns for a full twenty-four hours starting at sundown on the anniversary of the death of a loved one to remember a life. The candle should be left to burn on its own after being lit.
If the candle is left unattended for more than a few hours, it will begin to burn out and will need to be re-lit. It is also a good idea to leave the candles in a place where they will not be disturbed, such as a cupboard or under a bed.
What to Do If You Don’t Have a Yiddishkeit Candlestick You can light one of these candles at any time during the day, but if you don’t have one, you can also light it at night. The candle will burn until it is extinguished, at which point it can be placed on a table or shelf and left there until the next day.
How do you pray with candles?
Use in Prayer Light your white candle in a quiet place where you can pray without distractions. As the candle burns, you can either speak your prayers out loud or write them on a piece of paper that you place in front of your candle.
When you are ready to pray, place the paper in your mouth and inhale deeply through your nose. As you exhale, say your prayer aloud. When you have finished praying, light your next candle and repeat the process until all your candles are lit. You can also use this technique to light candles in the middle of the night.
