Ask the Rabbi with Rabbi Chaim Mintz<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

My family\u00a0has a\u00a0tradition to commemorate yahrtzeits<\/em> (nachalot<\/em>– anniversaries of death)\u00a0with a seudah<\/em> (meal) at a restaurant, together with friends. But it\u00a0has become\u00a0very expensive, causing tension with my wife, who\u00a0wants to stop. At the same time,\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0concerned that stopping would be disrespectful to my parents\u2019 memory. What should I do?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Rabbi Chaim Mintz responds<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shalom Bayit Comes First<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this situation, shalom bayit<\/em> (family peace)<\/a> <\/em>takes priority. There are far more meaningful ways to honor and elevate your parents\u2019 souls, ones that don\u2019t involve costly restaurant meals. You can learn Torah and do mitzvot<\/em> in their merit, say Kaddish<\/em><\/a> in shul, and light a yahrtzeit <\/em>candle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Original Meaning of a Nachalah Observance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In fact, your family\u2019s custom of hosting a meal may itself have its origins in Torah study. Today, in many shuls<\/em> (synagogues), people mark a yahrtzeit<\/em> by serving cake and whiskey after davening. Historically however, the earliest known custom observed on a yahrtzeit<\/em> was actually fasting (see Rema, Yoreh Deah<\/em> 402:12). The day of passing is considered a time of judgment for the neshamah<\/em>, and any mitzvot<\/em> or Torah study performed by the children on that day serve as a merit for the deceased. It is also seen as a day of bad mazal<\/em> (loosely – luck) for the family, a time that calls for fasting<\/a> and teshuvah. <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Fasting to Feasting: How the Custom Changed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So how did we go from fasting to cake and whiskey? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky once explained how this shift likely took place. We find a precedent in the case of Ta\u2019anit Bechorot<\/em>\u2014the fast of the firstborn on Erev Pesach<\/em> (Passover Eve). There, a widespread minhag<\/em> developed to have someone make a siyum<\/em>, followed by a seudat mitzvah <\/em>(meal celebration the fulfillment of a mitzvah) that exempts participants from fasting (see Mishnah Berurah<\/em> 470:10). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A similar pattern developed with yahrtzeits<\/em>. Originally, people fasted, but as fasting became more difficult, it was replaced by a siyum<\/a><\/em> and seudat mitzvah<\/a><\/em>. Eventually, however, the siyum<\/em> was forgotten, and all that remained was the food\u2014cake and whiskey in many shuls<\/em>, or in your case, a meal in a restaurant. So in truth, spending time learning Torah would be far more faithful to your family\u2019s original custom than going out to eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do We Need Extra Brachot?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some contend that serving food on a yahrtzeit<\/em> is important because it generates brachot<\/em> (blessings), resulting in extra merit for the deceased. But it is unnecessary to go out of our way to create extra brachot<\/em>. Once, when we were set to recite Birchat Hachamah<\/em>\u2014the bracha<\/em> recited once every 28 years when one sees the sun return to its original position of Creation\u2014the sky in Baltimore, where I was in yeshivah (Talmudical school) at the time, was overcast. Some people, determined to make the brachah<\/em>, booked a flight to fly above the clouds and catch a glimpse of the sun. Upon hearing this, my rebbi<\/em>, Rabbi Dovid Kronglas, responded, \u201cIf you wish to recite a brachah<\/em>, go to the bathroom and when you come out say Asher Yatzar<\/a><\/em> (blessing said after using the restroom).\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyday Blessings as a True Merit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

His message was clear: we don\u2019t need to invent creative ways to accumulate blessings. Life provides plenty of natural opportunities. On a nachalah<\/em>, every regular brachah <\/em>you make\u2014on food, after using the bathroom, or during davening\u2014can be said with special intent, and that alone can serve as a tremendous merit for the niftar<\/em> (deceased). You don\u2019t need elaborate meals to make blessings. All that money, whether spent renting a plane or on a restaurant, would be far better used for a mitzvah<\/em> such as giving tzedakah<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Special Case: Nachalot of Great Tzaddikim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is one notable exception: yahrtzeits<\/em> of great rabbis. We are not worried about their judgment\u2014we\u2019re confident they will pass with flying colors. On the contrary, their passing is an appropriate time to celebrate their lives and achievements. The Midrash<\/em> (Kohelet Rabbah<\/em> 7:1<\/a>) offers an analogy: when a ship sets out to sea, no one knows how it will fare, and it would be premature to celebrate. But when it returns safely to port, its mission complete, that is the time for rejoicing. So too, when a person is born, who knows how his life will turn out? But if he dies a tzaddik<\/em> (righteous person), then we can truly celebrate his life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In short: Instead of an expensive meal, you should remember your parents and elevate their souls through the study of Torah, good deeds, and tzedakah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
