Question
Hello, We want to read verses from Psalms at the memorial service for my brother. Can we choose arbitrarily according to the letters of his name, or are there specific chapters? Thank you for your response.
Answer
Hello,
There is a customary order to read at a memorial service.
[The letters of the deceased's name and the letters Kar"a Shat"n from chapter 119]
The source of this is from ancient customs, practiced by great Torah scholars and Kabbalists, and it is advisable not to change it.
You may add verses as you wish.
