This classic yahrzeit light will burn for about 26 hours. Do not forget - the Jewish day begins at nightfall. So the flame should be lit on the day preceding the Yahrzeit day, before nightfall.

Yahrzeit is a combination of two Yiddish words – “year” and “time” and its meaning is the anniversary of a date of death. In Jewish tradition, one of the ways to commemorate this anniversary is to light a candle that will burn for 24 hours.
