Which term is the memorial service recited four times a year?

• A. Cantor
• B. Yizkor
• C. Taharah
• D. Kaddish

Answer: (B)

Yizkor is the term for the memorial service that is traditionally recited four times a year. It is a special prayer of remembrance said in the synagogue on Yom Kippur and on the first days of Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot. The service focuses on remembering deceased loved ones and is distinct from other funeral-related prayers in its timing and purpose. Cantor refers to the person who leads the singing and liturgy, not a memorial service. Taharah is the ritual washing of the body before burial. Kaddish is a mourners’ prayer said during various parts of the service, often daily or on special occasions, but it is not the four-times-a-year memorial service.
