- Question: [Monday, 8th Tishreiy, 5782]
If both of my parents are deceased, how many Yartzite candles should I light on their behalf on Yom Kippur? One or two?
Answer:
The mainstream custom is to light one per parent, and so rule some Poskim. However, from other Poskim it is evident that one candle suffices for both parents. Practically, one may do as he sees fit.
