The Fast Day of the Tenth of Tevet, commemorating the siege of Jerusalem that led to the destruction of the Holy Temple — this year on Friday, Dec. 35 — is the traditional date for reciting the Kaddish prayer for those Jewish souls (including the Holocaust martyrs) for whom their date of death is unknown . Article #3 discusses Kaddish at both the basic and mystical levels.
