Reply To: Yartzeit – when niftar is in different time zone than his offspring

There is no such thing as a split Johrzeit.

Yesodei Smochos Chapter 12 Paragraph 7 holds:- “If death occurred in a different time zone, The Johrzeit is kept according to the date in the place where death occurred.”

i.e. All Johrzeit practices are observed on the date that was in force at locations of parent’s death.
