To all who responded to my post with such kind words and thoughts – Todah Rabbah. I really do think that I will remember these words during the very difficult, and always so sad, Yizkor service. It is a minhag at my shul that everyone stays for Yizkor. If I am not mistaken it is because there are so many who have passed away and have nobody to say kaddish for them. Also, at my shul on Shabbat, everyone stands for the last mourner’s Kaddish – for the same reason. I wish you all a chag sameach – enjoy good food for the body and great learning for the soul. I plan on partaking of both.
