Mourning: The Eleven Months
Question
dear Rabbi,my son was murdered on Oct 7 2023,he was buried on Oct 26 2023,when would be the 11th month ?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
I am extremely sadden to hear this news.
The eleven-month “kaddish period,” corresponds to eleven months from the day that the deceased was buried. so in the case of your son Z"l, the 11 months would be 11 of Elul. (since this year was a leap, the calculations include the two months of Adar).
May we hear good news.
