Question:If a person is niftar in a regular non-leap year, and the yahrtzeit occurs in a leap year, in which Adar is the yahrtzeit commemorated? Answer:According to the Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chayim Siman 568 Se’if 7), the yahrtzeit is commemorated in Adar Sheni. The Remo however, (Yoreh De’ah Siman 402 Se’if 12) maintains that the yahrtzeit is commemorated in Adar Rishon. The minhag of many Ashkenazim is to observe the yahrtzeit in both months. |
