Memorial Day on Shabbat
Question
If someone has a memorial day for their parents on Shabbat, which prayers should they lead before the amud?
Answer
Shalom Rav
If someone has a yahrzeit on Shabbat itself, they should lead all the prayers, if possible.
[If someone has a yahrzeit during the week: ideally, they should lead Mussaf (according to Kabbalah), and if they cannot, they should lead in the following order: Shacharit, Mincha, Maariv (this is due to the number of blessings and the response of Amen)]
