Yartzeit for 9/11 Victims is Elul 23, or this coming Monday

[muman613]

I said Kaddish for my brother last Shabbat because I was not sure whether I would be able to again daven in a minyan before the date of my brothers death, September 11th. He was a victim of the 9/11 attacks on America while he worked in the World Trade Center on the 105th floor for Cantor Fitzgerald.

The date of the Yartzeit is Elul 23, or Monday September 10th...

Yahrzeit: Memorial Anniversary

Despite the Germanic origin of the word yahrzeit, the designation of a special day and special observances to commemorate the anniversary of the death of parents was already discussed in the Talmud. This religious commemoration is recorded not as a fiat, but as a description of an instinctive sentiment of sadness, an annual rehearsing of tragedy, which impels one to avoid eating meat and drinking wine--symbols of festivity and joy, the very stuff of life.

Tradition regards this day as commemorative of both the enormous tragedy of death and the abiding glory of the parental heritage. It was a day set aside to contemplate the quality and life-style of the deceased, and to dwell earnestly upon its lessons. It is a day when one relives the moment of doom, perhaps even fasts to symbolize the unforgetable despair. It is a day conditioned by the need to honor one's parent in death as in life, through study and charity and other deeds of kindness. It is also conditioned by the non-rational, but all-too-human feelings that it is the day itself which is tragic, one which might bring misfortune with every annual cycle, and for which reason one slows one's activities and spends a good part of the day safely in the synagogue.

Yahrzeit may be observed for any relative or friend, but it is meant primarily for parents. Its observance takes place in three locations: the home, the synagogue and the cemetery.

[Ephraim Ben Noach]

 Muman, I will be praying for you and your family! G-d bless you all!

[The One and Only Mo]

Can I ask you a few questions? They might be a bit touchy...

I suppose so...

Muman, I'm very close to my one and only brother and I can't tell you how sorry I am for what you're going through with the loss of your brother.  A person has to be very strong to bear the pain of what you've been going through.  May G-d ease your pain and keep you strong.

Thank you very much... It is indeed a hard time... Out here in CA 9/11 seems like just another day... But I have this dreadful feeling and an anger which is burning beneath the surface. I feel as if we have no way to get true justice. I have my doubts as to whether OBL was killed by obuma and the fact that the event has turned into a political football. Also all those who throw around crazy conspiracy theories really gets me fired up...

The conspiracists, like that PIG Rosie O'Donnell, are really sick and evil people.  Stupid beyond belief, too!  They rile me up as well, but it's best to think of them as horrible nut jobs and dismiss them as being insane, which they are. 

And, believe me, OBL was definitely killed.  The Navy Seals definitely got their man.  There is absolutely no reason to doubt them.  And Obama is sure about it, too, because imagine what it would do to Obama if OBL turned up all of a sudden.  OBL is dead and gone.  Clinton could have killed OBL when he was President, but he didn't want to do it.

Each morning when I drive into work I get to a spot in Queens where I was able to see the World Trade Center like a picture post card...  Sadly each morning since the attack I would get to the same spot and see a dark skyline where a once spectacular skyline use to be... For the past few months now the new Freedom Tower has got to the point that it is now lit up and visible just like the old trade center... New Yorkers remember just what happened on 9-11 and how many people lost their life in the attack... I saw a moment by moment documentary on the last moments of the Trade Center the other day and all the years later it still made me very mad and sad... muman here in New York  people like your brother are not forgotten... There is nothing we can do to bring him back however the memory of people like him that lost their lives because of the actions of evil animals will go on for some time to come if not forever... G-d willing your brother is resting in peace.

Thank you cjd...

From the looks of it the 9/11 memorial is beautiful. I am so sorry that it is so expensive but I hope people understand that the families of the victims need this to heal.

[Brett]

muman my heart goes out to you. As I do on this sad occasion I light 1 solitary candle and ask with all my heart that G-d give comfort to the ones that still hurt and grieve, this I will do especially for you.

Stay strong, plow on.

[nessuno]

Muman,  You, your brother and your family have been on my mind all morning.  I have included you all in my prayers.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  I know it must be very difficult for you, especially, on this day.
