Yahrtzeit refers to the day of a person’s passing. On the day of the Yahrtzeit, it is customary to light a 24 Hour Candle at home to honour the memory of the deceased. Many also choose to light a memorial candle each Shabbat alongside Shabbat candles to remember lost family and community.
“Only guard yourself and guard your soul carefully, lest you forget the things your eyes saw, and lest these things depart your heart all the days of your life. And you shall make them known to your children, and to your children's children.”—Deuteronomy 4:9
CANDLE SAFETY
Candles create meaning in Jewish life, but they also represent a potential fire hazard when used improperly.
- Always use in the heat-resistant holders designed for their size.
- Teach children about fire safety and the dangers of candles.
- Higher placement: Use elevated locations to prevent pet or child interference.
