You just reminded me (and this is not a joke, btw) that I had an Adar question (my rov is not able to be easily reached in the daytime). It’s not a SHAILAH shailah, so relax,but I heard two conflicting things this week about yartzeits in an uber yohr, and I wondered what the good people of the CR know.

My friend just told me that her rov paskened that she should actually observe her mother’s yartzeit (she was nifteres three days after Purim) on that same date in Adar Rishon AND also with a licht on Adar Sheini. Her rov is chassidish, if that makes a difference. Would it be a chassidish minhag? The Lubavitch told her the same thing as her rov.

I always thought that when a yartzeit occurs in Adar, it is always observed in Adar Sheini of a leap year. The Zayin Adar Seudah is in Adar Sheini. Purim is in Adar Sheini.

Some thoughts about this?
