How long do children traditionally recite the Kaddish for their parents?

The Kaddish is a significant prayer in Jewish mourning practices, traditionally recited by children in memory of their parents. The correct answer reflects the custom that children say the Kaddish for a full year following their parent’s death. This practice occurs during daily prayer services, signifying ongoing remembrance and honoring the deceased's memory. Additionally, children continue to recite the Kaddish on yahrzeits, which are the anniversary of the parent's death, reinforcing the connection and respect for their legacy.

Choice A is limited to a one-month period, which does not encompass the full extent of the mourning tradition. Choice C restricts the recitation to the anniversary of death alone, overlooking the daily practice throughout the year. Choice D also diminishes the mourning period by suggesting that the prayer is only recited for one week, failing to capture the deeper, ongoing commitment to honor parents in Jewish tradition.
