,יאָהרצַייט - בְּיוֹם הַמִּיתָה אֲפִילוּ בְּשָׁנָה רִאשׁוֹנָה
A yahrzeit is commemorated on the date of a person’s passing even on the first anniversary,
.וַאֲפִילוּ כְּשֶׁיּוֹם הַקְּבוּרָה רָחוֹק מִיּוֹם הַמִּיתָה
and even when the burial actually took place on a much later date.
:מַעֲנֵה הַצֶּמַח צֶדֶק לאַאַזְמוּ"ר בִּהְיוֹתוֹ כְּבֶן שֶׁבַע
Once, in reply to a question asked by my revered grandfather, the Rebbe [Maharash], when he was about seven years old,
הַחֶסֶד וְיִתְרוֹן הַמַּעֲלָה אֲשֶׁר הָאֱלֹקִים עָשָׂה אֶת הָאָדָם יָשָׁר לִהְיוֹת הוֹלֵךְ בְּקוֹמָה זְקוּפָה
[his father] the Tzemach Tzedek said: “[It is written that]2 ‘G‑d made man upright.’ The unique superiority of man that G‑d showed him in His kindness by making him walk upright
,הוּא, דַּהֲגַם שֶׁהוֹלֵךְ עַל הָאָרֶץ, מִכָּל מָקוֹם הוּא רוֹאֶה אֶת הַשָּׁמַיִם
lies in this — that even though he treads upon the earth, he sees the heavens.
.לֹא כֵן בְּהוֹלֵךְ עַל אַרְבַּע דְּאֵינוֹ רוֹאֶה אֶלָּא אֶת הָאָרֶץ
A four-legged creature, by contrast, sees only the earth.”
