Reply To: Chiyuv for Shliach Tzibbur – Order of Precedence

I’ve spent some time reviewing the topic of when to observe a yahrtziet in a year with 2 Adars. There is a three way machloket (with many poskim holding each position) regarding which is the “real” Adar: the first (Rama), the second (Mechaber) or both (Gra). The Mishna B’rurah (568/41-42) says that if possible one should fast on both dates but as far as the right to lead services that is only in Adar I however kaddish should be said in both Adars. If fasting twice is not an option then Adar I is the primary.
