Kaddish Frequency: Needs of Dead Person

Each dead person needs kaddish to be said for him or her:
  • By at least one person.
    Note If more than one person who was close to the dead person (such as a relative) says kaddish, it is a merit for the soul of the dead person.
  • At least once a day. 
    Note More frequently is commendable, since kaddish relieves a dead person's soul from gehenna.
