Now, one year later on the anniversary of his death, a boy and his family light a special candle. It’s not a birthday, Hanukkah, or Shabbat candle. It’s a yahrzeit candle in remembrance of him, and it will burn all night and all day tomorrow until sunset. But why does it burn for so long?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe boy and his family spend the next night and day remembering Grandpa and sharing stories with each other.
