Yahrzeit (cont.)
Question
I emailed yesterday about my father's Yahrtzeit. Thank you for the explanation. I will follow the guidelines as best as possible. I am unclear on what the actual date is of the Yahrtzeit. Is it Hebrew or English date and is just 1 year exactly to the day. Would you please indicate the actual day. He was buried on April 19, 2005 (I don't know the Hebrew date). Which Mishnayos should I learn on the day? How long of a fast (24 hour or early morning onward)? Should I make a siyum? I am a baal teshuva and I learn best in English, and the shuls I attend are pretty frum so I would feel uncomfortable making a siyum in English, and I don't know what I can finish by then. Thank you again. Jay
