Question
Am I allowed to say Kaddish every day for a different righteous person who has passed away according to the calendar entry? Does this include saying the memorial prayer and lighting a candle?
Answer
Hello,
There is no issue with lighting a candle and holding a remembrance,
according to the law, it is also permitted to say Kaddish.
There are communities that are strict about not saying Kaddish for the elevation of the soul during the parents' lifetime. In these communities, it is considered an affront to the parents.
