[Avodah] Past Yahretzeit #50

[Aryeh Herzig]

My family and I are Chassidim.

I always knew, since I am a child, that the source of the 50 year
"expiration" of having to say Kaddish for a Niftar is from the SheLaH
HaKadosh.  The reasoning being that the  Neshama is so high already that
saying Kaddish can not help it any more.

I am not sure whether or not this is an oral tradition.  If anyone out there
has Otzar HaChachma or some other search program I am curious to know if it
is actually written in the Shnei Luchot HaBris..

In fact, despite this SheLaH, everyone I know in all Chassidic circles does
continue with Kaddish after the 50 years.
