We loved them, let's not forget them anymore! How many times have we forgotten the Yarzheit of a family member or friend? Unfortunately, the Hebrew date being more complicated to remember, we forgot to recite the Kaddish to raise our father's or mother's soul? The Yarzheit application is there to make your life easier! Create in a few clicks the Yarzheit file of your relative, a notification and an email will remind you a few days before! Yarzheit also allows you to appoint a person to say the Kaddish, read Tehilim or study the Torah at a frequency you choose. Prayers (Kaddish, Tehilim, Michnayot, Yarzheit ) are also available in Hebrew and phonetics.
