Yahrzeit candles are also lit during the day of Yom Kippur or during Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony (Yom HaShoah). Today is Jeff’s dad anniversary of death, so we have lit some soul candles for him.

Daffodil Day (or D-Day) is the largest single fund-raising activity of the Irish Cancer Society to support cancer research.

Jeff had been volunteering at Daffodil Day for ICS as a street fund-raiser for many years; this year we did it together.
