Question
I recently came across the concept of a "tikkun for the deceased," and I heard that in the month of Nisan there are special aspects to this. What is the best way to benefit the deceased? Is it preferable to pay for a "tikkun for the deceased" in a kabbalists' yeshiva, or to give charity to the poor and for kimcha de-Pischa? Which special practices in the month of Nisan are beneficial for the soul of the deceased?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
There is a special significance to a tikkun for the deceased in the month of Nisan.
On the other hand, there is an obligation to give kimcha de-Pischa, and this obligation is greater than the matter of a “tikkun.”
Therefore, if you are giving to only one of them, it is of course preferable to give to that which is an outright obligation.
[Note: There are “kabbalists’ yeshivot” run by people who are not authorized at all, and their “tikkun” is, of course, worthless…]
