[Avodah] Fwd: yizkor

[Eli Turkel]

> Can one Daven for a dead person?

Why not?  Don't we do so all the time, with yizkor, av harachamim,
malei, etc, as well as indirectly with kaddish? >>

BTW R. Soloveitchik translates yizkor as atone (kaper) not as
remember and brings the famous statement that yom kippurim is in
the plural since it is for the living and the dead. Yizkor began on YK
and only later spread to the other regalim.
