In last week's episode, I explored the tragic death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and the events that unfolded during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas. This week, I'm following the case into the courtroom as we examine The State of Texas vs. Karmelo Anthony. During this episode, I'll walk through the key moments of the trial, the arguments presented by both the prosecution and defense, and the jury's ultimate decision. We'll discuss the self-defense claim raised by the defense, the testimony presented during the proceedings, and the factors that may have influenced the outcome. I'll also review the sentencing phase and the emotional victim impact statements delivered by Austin's family. As always, my goal is not to sensationalize tragedy, but to help listeners better understand the investigative and legal processes that follow a violent death. Cases like this often generate strong opinions and intense public discussion, but inside the courtroom, decisions must be based on evidence, testimony, and the law. Join me as we take a closer look at one of the most closely watched criminal trials in recent Texas history and examine the legal journey from a fatal encounter to a murder conviction.

In this episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I'm covering the heartbreaking case of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, a high school student whose life was tragically cut short during what should have been an ordinary day at a track meet. In April 2025, a confrontation between two young men at a Frisco, Texas, athletic event ended in an act of violence that shocked a community and made headlines across the country. What began as a disagreement escalated in a matter of moments, leaving one family grieving the loss of a son, brother, friend, and teammate. As a forensic death investigator, I walk through the known timeline of events, the investigation that followed, and the legal proceedings involving Karmelo Anthony. I also discuss the difficult realities surrounding youth violence, split-second decisions, and the devastating consequences that can follow. But as with every case I cover, I want to keep the focus where it belongs. On Austin. On the life he lived, the people who loved him, and the future that was taken from him far too soon. This episode is approached with compassion and respect for everyone affected by this tragedy. Beyond the headlines, this is the story of a young life lost and a community forever changed. This episode contains discussion of violence, homicide, and the death of a minor.  Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I'm covering the heartbreaking case of Rachel Castillo, a young mother whose disappearance in Southern California led investigators to a devastating discovery, and ultimately, the conviction of her estranged husband, Zarbab Ali. Rachel vanished during what should have been a routine custody exchange involving her children. But almost immediately, investigators began uncovering signs that something was terribly wrong. What followed was an intense investigation involving surveillance footage, blood evidence, digital tracking, and a search that ended with Rachel's body being found buried in a remote area. As a forensic death investigator, I walk through how cases like this begin to unfold behind the scenes, how small pieces of evidence start forming a timeline, how investigators interpret behavioral patterns, and how critical those early investigative decisions become when someone suddenly disappears under suspicious circumstances. This episode contains discussion of domestic violence, homicide, and burial concealment.  Listener discretion is advised.

What happens when you come face-to-face with death… twice? For Laura Ketchledge, surviving two near-death experiences was only the beginning. It wasn't just her life that was changed—it was her entire perception of reality. Something shifted. A doorway seemed to open, one that allowed her to see and feel what most of us cannot. On the other side of that threshold waited the voices and faces of the departed.At first, the experiences were startling. Deceased loved ones, long-gone friends, even family pets began appearing to her with stunning clarity. These weren't fleeting dreams or vague impressions. They were encounters—vivid, undeniable, and deeply personal. Over time, Laura realized she wasn't just reliving echoes of the past. She was experiencing a new reality where the living and the dead coexisted in ways few could imagine.But it wasn't only familiar spirits who reached out. Strangers, too, began to appear—souls tied to her by something unseen, as though her near-death experiences had marked her as a beacon between worlds. Were these encounters random, or were they intentional? Was there a greater purpose behind these continuous visitations?We explore the extraordinary story of Laura Ketchledge and the gift—or curse—that her brushes with death left behind. Are these encounters proof that near-death opens a permanent portal to the supernatural? And if so, what are the dead trying to tell us through her?#NearDeathExperience #ParanormalPodcast #GhostEncounters #LifeAfterDeath #SpiritCommunication #SupernaturalPortal #MessagesFromBeyond #TheOtherSide #HauntedLife #TheGraveTalksLove real ghost stories?

This episode draws on experimental and review literature on mirror-gazing, strange-face illusions, anomalous self-experience, dissociation, agency, face pareidolia, and face-distortion disorders, especially the work of Giovanni B. Caputo, Caputo/Lynn/Houran, Mash et al., Bregman-Hai and Soffer-Dudek, Derome et al., Palmer and Clifford, and Blom et al. Historical and occult context comes from research on catoptromancy, John Dee's angelic scrying records, the British Museum's “Dr Dee's Magical Mirror,” Campbell et al.'s Antiquity study on the mirror's Mexican/Aztec obsidian origin, and Mesoamerican material on Tezcatlipoca and the “Smoking Mirror.”Links For The Occult Rejectshttps://linktr.ee/theoccultrejectsOccult Research Institutehttps://www.occultresearchinstitute.org/Cash Apphttps://cash.app/$theoccultrejectsVenmo@TheOccultRejectsBuy Me A Coffeebuymeacoffee.com/TheOccultRejectsPatreonhttps://www.patreon.com/TheOccultRejectsCore Scientific Sources: Mirror-Gazing, Strange Faces, and Altered Self-ExperienceCaputo, Giovanni B. “Strange-Face-in-the-Mirror Illusion.” Perception 39, no. 7, 2010, 1007–1008.Key use: This is the main science anchor for the episode. Caputo showed that prolonged mirror-gazing under low illumination can produce strange-face apparitions, including distortions, unknown faces, monstrous faces, animal-like faces, archetypal faces, and faces of relatives or deceased people.Caputo, Giovanni B., Steven Jay Lynn, and James Houran. “Mirror- and Eye-Gazing: An Integrative Review of Induced Altered and Anomalous Experiences.” Imagination, Cognition and Personality 40, no. 4, 2021, 418–457.Key use: This is one of the strongest overview sources. It reviews empirical studies on mirror-gazing, psychomanteum work, and eye-to-eye gazing, especially in relation to altered perception, anomalous experiences, bodily experience, and self-identity.Mash, Joanna, Paul M. Jenkinson, Charlotte E. Dean, and Keith R. Laws. “Strange Face Illusions: A Systematic Review and Quality Analysis.” Consciousness and Cognition 109, 2023, article 103480.Key use: Newer review source. Useful because it supports strange-face illusions as a reliable phenomenon in both mirror-gazing and interpersonal gazing, while also warning that stronger research is still needed on mechanisms and prevalence.Bregman-Hai, Noa, and Nirit Soffer-Dudek. “Mirror-Gazing-Induced Dissociation Impairs Self-Reported and Implicit Sense of Agency: A Causal Investigation of Dissociation and Agency Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions.” PLOS ONE 21, no. 2, 2026, e0341316.Key use: Excellent source for the agency section. This connects mirror-gazing-induced dissociation with weakened sense of agency, which pairs well with mediumship, possession, automatic writing, and the feeling that “something else” is present.Derome, Mélodie, Eduardo Fonseca-Pedrero, Giovanni Battista Caputo, and Martin Debbané. “A Developmental Study of Mirror-Gazing-Induced Anomalous Self-Experiences and Self-Reported Schizotypy from 7 to 28 Years of Age.” Psychopathology 55, no. 1, 2022, 49–61.Key use: Useful developmental source. It connects mirror-gazing-induced anomalous self-experiences with age, self-perception, and schizotypal traits.Caputo, Giovanni B. “Visual Perception During Mirror-Gazing at One's Own Face in Patients with Depression.” The Scientific World Journal, 2014.Key use: Useful for the emotion/self-face relationship section. Caputo found that strange-face apparitions were reduced in patients with depression compared with healthy controls, including shorter duration, fewer strange faces, weaker intensity, and lower emotional response.Tramacere, Antonella. “Face Yourself: The Social Neuroscience of Mirror Gazing.” Frontiers in Psychology 13, 2022, article 949211.Key use: Strong support for the idea that mirror-gazing is like seeing yourself as another. It connects self-face perception with social neuroscience and the overlap between how we perceive our own face and the faces of others.Chakraborty, Anya C., and Bhismadev Chakrabarti. “Looking at My Own Face: Visual Processing Strategies in Self–Other Face Recognition.” Frontiers in Psychology 9, 2018.Key use: Useful for the self-face recognition section. This study looks at how people process their own face compared with other faces.Conty, Laurence, Nathalie George, and Jari K. Hietanen. “Watching Eyes Effects: When Others Meet the Self.” Consciousness and Cognition 45, 2016, 184–197.Key use: Best support for the gaze/presence section. It argues that direct gaze captures attention and triggers self-referential processing, which helps explain why a mirror can make the viewer feel watched.Face Perception, Pareidolia, and Monstrous DistortionPalmer, Colin J., and Colin W. G. Clifford. “Face Pareidolia Recruits Mechanisms for Detecting Human Social Attention.” Psychological Science 31, no. 8, 2020, 1001–1012.Key use: Best source for the “face-making brain” section. It supports the idea that illusory faces are not treated as meaningless noise; they can recruit mechanisms involved in social attention.Blom, Jan Dirk, Bastiaan C. ter Meulen, Jitze Dool, and Dominic H. ffytche. “A Century of Prosopometamorphopsia Studies.” Cortex 139, 2021, 298–308.Key use: Use carefully as a comparison source, not as a direct explanation for all scrying. Prosopometamorphopsia is a rare condition where faces appear distorted, showing that face-processing systems can produce frightening facial distortions under certain conditions.Psychomanteum, Grief, and Seeing the DeadHastings, Arthur, Michael Hutton, William Braud, et al. “Psychomanteum Research: Experiences and Effects on Bereavement.” OMEGA: Journal of Death and Dying 45, no. 3, 2002, 211–228.Key use: Main grief / dead-in-the-mirror source. Use carefully. It does not prove afterlife contact, but it supports the idea that mirror-gazing, darkness, memory, and grief can produce powerful experiences interpreted as contact.Moody, Raymond A. Reunions: Visionary Encounters with Departed Loved Ones. New York: Villard, 1993.Key use: Main modern popular source for the psychomanteum as a grief-contact chamber. Use as practitioner/popular context, not as the strongest academic evidence.Terhune, Devin B., and Matthew D. Smith. “The Induction of Anomalous Experiences in a Mirror-Gazing Facility: Suggestion, Cognitive Perceptual Personality Traits and Phenomenological State Effects.” The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease 194, no. 6, 2006, 415–421.Key use: Good supporting source for anomalous experiences in a mirror-gazing facility. Pairs well with Hastings and the Caputo review.Kamp, K. S., Evgenia Steffen, Louis A. Kasket, and others. “Sensory and Quasi-Sensory Experiences of the Deceased in Bereavement: An Interdisciplinary and Integrative Review.” Schizophrenia Bulletin 46, no. 6, 2020, 1367–1381.Key use: Strong source for the grief section. It supports the point that bereaved people often report sensory or quasi-sensory experiences of the deceased, including feeling a presence, seeing, hearing, smelling, or sensing the dead.Hewson, Helen, and colleagues. “The Impact of Continuing Bonds Following Bereavement: A Systematic Review.” Death Studies, 2024.Key use: Useful for continuing bonds. It helps frame ongoing inner relationships with the dead as part of bereavement rather than automatically pathological.Historical, Religious, and Occult Mirror DivinationJohnston, Sarah Iles. Ancient Greek Divination. Wiley-Blackwell, 2008.Key use: Broad academic background for ancient divination systems. Not only mirror scrying, but very useful for framing divination as a serious religious and cultural practice.“Technical Divination and Mechanics of Sacred Space.” In Technologies of the Marvellous in Ancient Greek Religion.

In this episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I'm covering the tragic and deeply disturbing case of Sonia Exelby, a 32-year-old woman from Portsmouth, England, who traveled to the United States in October of 2024… and never made it home. According to investigators, Sonia flew into Gainesville, Florida, after connecting online with a man named Dwain Hall through a fetish website. She was expected to return to the UK just three days later, but she never boarded her flight. What followed became an international homicide investigation that shocked both sides of the Atlantic. As I walk through the timeline of Sonia's final days, I do so with compassion and care, because beneath the headlines was a real woman whose life mattered. A woman who trusted someone she believed she knew… and whose story ended in unimaginable tragedy. From an investigative standpoint, I also discuss the complexities of cases involving online relationships, long-distance travel, digital evidence, and how quickly missing person cases can escalate into homicide investigations. This episode is not about judgment or sensationalism. It's about understanding the vulnerability that can exist in human connection, the realities investigators face in cases like this, and honoring the victim at the center of the story. This episode contains discussion of violence, homicide, and sensitive themes involving online exploitation. Please take care of yourself while listening.

What if death didn't end the conversation?When Dawn Baumann Brunke's husband Bob died suddenly in September 2024, she had 20 years of experience communicating with animals across the veil. But nothing fully prepared her for losing her partner of 33 years. What happened in the eight weeks that followed became her most extraordinary book yet — Talks with Bob: A True Story of Love, Death and Life in the Afterlife.Every morning, Dawn would settle in with her coffee, open her laptop, and keep talking to Bob. And Bob kept answering. What he shared from the other side — about his passing, about what the afterlife actually looks like, about love and expansion and time — is tender, surprising, and deeply hopeful.This episode is especially close to my heart. I work with widows and widowers every day, and the fears they carry are real. Is my loved one okay? Do they still think about me? Will I ever feel close to them again? Dawn's story doesn't just offer comfort — it offers evidence. And I moved her up months in my booking queue the moment I finished this book.In this episode, we explore:What Bob experienced at the moment of his death — and why he didn't sufferThe "bridge" between the living and the dead, and how you can meet your loved one thereWhy your loved ones are still with you, still growing, and haven't forgotten youParallel lives, alternate timelines, and the eternal NOWHow to open yourself to connection — even if you're not a medium or animal communicatorAbout Dawn Baumann Brunke: Dawn Baumann Brunke is an author, animal communicator, and dream enthusiast living in Alaska.

After the passing of a parent, Heaven forbid, the child observes a twelve-month period of mourning, and thus, fundamentally, Kaddish should be recited for that entire period. However, the Rama (Rav Moshe Isserles, Poland, 1530-1572) brings (Y.D. 376) Poskim who ruled that the mourner should stop reciting Kaddish after eleven months. This is due to the Mishna's teaching in Masechet Eduyot (2:10) that the wicked are punished in Gehinam for twelve months. If a mourner recites Kaddish for a parent for twelve months, this might give the impression that he considers his parent a wicked person, Heaven forbid, such that the parent requires twelve months of Kaddish to be spared the punishments of Gehinam. Therefore, some Poskim rule that the child should recite Kaddish for only eleven months. A second custom is mentioned by the Kenesset Ha'gedola (Rav Haim Benvenisti, Turkey, 1603-1673), who writes that he instructed people to stop reciting Kaddish one week before the culmination of the twelve-month mourning period. By contrast, the Sha'ar Ha'kavanot (Rav Haim Vital, 1542-1620) cites the Arizal's teaching that a mourner should recite Kaddish for a parent throughout the year of mourning. The Arizal emphasized that Kaddish is recited even on Shabbat and Yom Tob, when the wicked receive a respite from the punishments of Gehinam. This demonstrates, the Arizal explained, that reciting Kaddish does more for the deceased parent than simple extricate the soul from Gehinam; it also elevates the soul to higher levels in Gan Eden. Publicly declaring G-d's greatness fulfills the Misva of Kiddush Hashem – glorifying the Name of G-d, which is the greatest Misva a person can perform. In fact, some Kabbalists teach that the Misva of Kiddush Hashem can rectify even the most grievous sins. The merit of the Kaddish recitation, then, brings immense benefits to the deceased parent's soul, beyond protecting the soul from the punishments of Gehinam. Therefore, the Arizal maintained that reciting Kaddish for the entire year of mourning does not necessarily give the indication that one considers his parent a wicked person. Accordingly, the Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) writes that the custom in Italy, Egypt and Jerusalem was to recite Kaddish for twelve full months. Nevertheless, the Hida recommended refraining from reciting Kaddish for one week. Similarly, the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim Baghdad, 1833-1909), in his Rav Pe'alim, writes that the custom in Baghdad was to conduct a memorial service (Arayat) after eleven months to signify that the deceased is not considered a sinner, after which the mourners would refrain from reciting Kaddish for one week, and then resume reciting Kaddish until the end of the twelfth month. This is, indeed, the common practice in our community – to refrain from Kaddish for one week at the beginning of the twelfth month, and to then resume the Kaddish recitation until the end of the month. It should be noted that this entire discussion applies only to the Kaddish recitations in the prayer service. The Kaddish recited after Torah learning or after the reading of Tehillim is recited by a mourner throughout the twelve months, even during the week when he abstains from Kaddish during the prayer service. Additionally, Hacham David Yosef, in Halacha Berura, cites his father, Hacham Ovadia, as ruling that if a mourner serves as Hazzan, then he recites all the Kaddishim included in the prayer service, even during the first week of the twelfth month. Summary: Different customs exist as to when a mourner stops reciting Kaddish for a deceased parent. The generally accepted custom in our community is to stop reciting Kaddish during the first week of the twelfth month, and to then resume reciting Kaddish until the end of the month. Even during that week, the mourner recites Kaddish after Torah learning and Tehillim reading, and if he serves as Hazzan, then he recites all the Kaddishim that are part of the prayer service.

When a non-Jew undergoes conversion and becomes a Jew, he is, halachically speaking, no longer related to his biological parents. Nevertheless, if a convert's parent passes away, it is appropriate for him to recite Kaddish to benefit the parent's soul. He of course owes his parents a debt of gratitude for bringing him into the world and caring for him, and so it is proper recite Kaddish to benefit their soul. Although the parents are not Jewish, nevertheless, the Kaddish recitation enables their souls to rest peacefully in the afterlife, and it spares them from punishment. This is the ruling of Hacham Ovadia Yosef, who noted the discussion of Tosafot (Sota 10b) regarding King David's prayers for the soul of his son, Abshalom. Tosafot establish that although a person's Misvot cannot benefit the soul of his deceased child (the way a person's Misvot benefit the soul of a deceased parent), a person's prayers can benefit his deceased child's soul. And thus King David's prayers to elevate his son's soul from Gehinam were effective. Hacham Ovadia applied this principle to the case of a convert. Since Halacha does not regard the convert as the biological parent's child, his Misvot cannot benefit the parent's soul, but his prayers can benefit the parent's soul. Therefore, it would be appropriate for the convert to recite Kaddish for the deceased parent. An adopted child should recite Kaddish for the parents who adopted him and raised him. He of course owes them an enormous debt of gratitude for all they did for him, raising him, caring for him, and assuming responsibility for him, and so he should recite Kaddish after their passing to benefit their souls. Summary: It is appropriate for a convert to recite Kaddish for his deceased parent. Likewise, a person who was adopted should recite Kaddish for the parents who adopted him and cared for him.

In a previous installment, we discussed the great value of the Kaddish recitation for a deceased parent, and how it benefits the parent's soul. The Hida (Rav Haim Yosef David Azulai, 1724-1806) emphasizes in particular the value of the Kaddish recited following the reading of Tehillim. He writes that this Kaddish recitation has the ability to protect a parent's soul from harmful forces in the afterlife. However, notwithstanding the great importance and value of Kaddish, one must realize that other Misvot, too, bring great benefit to a parent's soul. The Gemara (Sanhedrin 104) teaches, "Bera Mezakeh Abba" – a son brings merit to his father through the observance of Misvot. Elsewhere (Erubin 70), the Gemara states that a son is "Kareh De'abu'ah" – his father's "leg." After one leaves this world, he is no longer capable of performing Misvot, and so he is unable to rise to greater heights in the afterlife – if not for his children, whose Misva observance brings him merit. In this sense, a child is the parent's "leg," enabling the parent to move forward despite being unable to continue fulfilling Misvot. In particular, besides Kaddish, learning Torah and giving charity in a parent's memory bring immense benefit to the soul. Additionally, a son benefits his parent's soul by reading the Haftara for the congregation. Many people assume that the Aliya of "Mashlim" is the preferred Aliya to receive in the synagogue, because it comes with the recitation of Kaddish. However, Hacham Ovadia Yosef maintained that Maftir is even greater, because of the special benefits granted to a parent's soul through the reading of the Haftara. Therefore, if a person has the choice between these two Aliyot, then – assuming he is capable of reading the Haftara properly – he should choose the Aliya of Maftir. The practice in some Ashkenazic communities is that only one person recites Kaddish. There as entire literature in Ashkenazic halachic sources determining the order of precedence when several people wish to recite Kaddish for a departed loved one. Unfortunately, this practice often led to a great deal of strife, as people vied and competed with one another for the privilege of reciting Kaddish, prompting a number of leading Ashkenazic Poskim to adopt the Sephardic model, whereby all who need to recite Kaddish do so together in unison. The Hatam Sofer (Rav Moshe Sofer, Pressburg, 1762-1839) changed the practice in his yeshiva to follow the Sephardic custom in order to avoid strife. And Rav Yaakob Emden (Germany, 1697-1776), in his commentary to the Siddur, writes that he decided to omit the discussion of precedence with regard to Kaddish, because the Sephardic custom, that the people recite Kaddish together, is preferable, as it avoids strife and conflict. The work Yesh Nohalim emphasizes that a person's performance of Misvot is far more beneficial to his parent's soul than his recitation of Kaddish, and his "hair would rise" when he saw conflicts arise among mourners in the synagogue over the Kaddish recitation. Such conflicts occasionally take place even in Sephardic congregations when two mourners or people observing Yahrtzeit vie for the privilege of leading the service, or for the Aliya of Mashlim. I remember that our great Rabbi, Hacham Baruch Ben-Haim, observed Yahrtzeit on the same day as one of the congregants in his synagogue, Shaare Zion, and each year, he deferred to that congregant. When asked about this practice, he explained that avoiding strife and conflict brings far more benefit to a deceased's soul than leading any part of the service. There is nothing more precious that a person can do to benefit the soul of a parent than to increase peaceful relations among Jews. People must realize that if leading the service requires anger and instigating strife, then the merits accrued are more than offset by the sins that have been committed. The Arizal taught that anger contaminates the soul, and one must immerse in a Mikveh to cleanse it afterward. Without question, there is no sense whatsoever in becoming angry and initiating a fight out of a desire to bring merit to a parent's soul. When several people recite Kaddish together, they must ensure to recite it aloud in unison, so as not to confuse the congregation.

The Or Zarua (Rav Yishak of Vienna, 13 th century) brings a Midrash that tells a remarkable story about Rabbi Akiba, who once saw a man running frantically while carrying a large stack of twigs. The man was unclothed, and his body was black like charcoal. Rabbi Akiba asked the man to stop, and offered to help. He assumed that this man was a slave working for a ruthless master, and he wanted to release him from his state of servitude so he would not have to continue suffering. The man explained to Rabbi Akiba that he actually was not from the world of the living. When he was alive, he worked as a tax collector, and he would heartlessly tax the needy into poverty while currying favor with the rich, among other grave misdeeds. His punishment was that he needed to collect firewood every day, to be then burned in the fire. The only chance to end this suffering, the man told Rabbi Akiba, was for his son to recite Kaddish or lead the recitation of Barechu in the synagogue. He had died when his wife was pregnant with their only child. Rabbi Akiba asked the man about his wife's name and place of residence, and he went to find this man's child. When he asked the townspeople about the widow and her child, they angrily cursed the deceased man who was so cruel and heartless, driving many people to destitution. Rabbi Akiba learned that the man had a son, but he was not even circumcised, and certainly never learned Torah such that he would be in a position to recite Kaddish. After finding the young man, Rabbi Akiba convinced him to have a berit mila . He tried teaching him Torah, but the young man had extreme difficulty learning. Rabbi Akiba fasted for forty days, beseeching G-d to help the boy learn. He was then able to teach him. Eventually, when the young man was ready, Rabbi Akiba brought him to the synagogue, and he recited Kaddish and Barechu. Rabbi Akiba continued teaching this young man Torah, until he emerged as a great scholar, known as Rabbi Nahum Ha'pakoli. The name "Ha'pakoli" alludes to the verse in the Book of Yeshayahu (28:7), "Paku Peliliya" – "He who extracts the guilty," which is precisely what Rabbi Nahum did, rescuing his sinful father from eternal suffering. The father appeared Rabbi Akiba in a dream and wished him that he be granted a distinguished place in Gan Eden. He explained that after his son recited Kaddish and Barechu, he was relieved of the suffering that had been decreed. When the son began learning Torah regularly, he was no longer subject to any punishment. And when the son was ordained as a Rabbi, he was brought to Gan Eden to join the Sadikim. This is an early source of the time-honored custom to recite Kaddish on behalf of one's deceased parent, which has the effect of sparing the parent from punishments in the afterlife. Another source is a passage in Tanna De'beh Eliyahu, brought by Rabbi Eliezer of Worms (Germany, d. 1238), which states that even a small child can save his father from the punishments of Gehinam through the recitation of Kaddish. Moreover, the Yad Eliyahu writes that by reciting Kaddish for a deceased parent, one fulfills the Misva of Kibbud Ab Va'em – honoring one's parent. In fact, the Yad Eliyahu adds, one has more of an opportunity to fulfill the Misva of Kibbud Ab Va'em after a parent's passing, since during the parent's lifetime, the parent can decline the child's offers to give honor. After the parent's passing, however, the parent cannot refuse the recitation of Kaddish – and even if the parent never requested that Kaddish be recited after his or her death, the child must assume that this was the parent's wish. As Kibbud Ab Va'em constitutes a Torah obligation, we follow the rule that one must act stringently in situations of uncertainty ("Safek De'Orayta Le'humra"), and thus a child must, under all circumstances, recite Kaddish for a deceased parent. Similarly, Rav Yosef Engel (1858-1919) writes that reciting Kaddish is the highest form of Kibbud Ab Va'em, as there is nothing greater that one can do for a parent than bring the parent to Gan Eden, which is what a child achieves by reciting Kaddish. Our community can be proud that this practice is meticulously observed, virtually without exception. Even when people travel, if they are in the first year after a parent's passing, Heaven forbid, they ensure to have a Minyan available so as not to miss even a single recitation of Kaddish. This is a testament to our community's awareness of the great importance of this cherished custom, and of our community's strong dedication to the precious Misva of Kibbud Ab Va'em. Importantly, however, Hacham Ovadia cites the Yosef Ometz as noting that the Kaddish recitation was instituted for those who are unable to benefit their parents' souls through the study of Torah. The benefit brought through Torah study is many times greater than the recitation of Kaddish, and if one arrives at a Hiddush (a novel Torah insight) while learning in his parent's memory, he brings immeasurable honor to the parent's soul in the afterlife. Therefore, as important as it of course is to recite Kaddish for a deceased parent, it is even more important to devote time to learn Torah in the parent's memory, as this is the greatest thing one can do for a deceased parent's soul. Many parents, understandably, are troubled by the exorbitant cost of Torah education. However, while the problem is real, and should be addressed, at the same time, we must maintain a proper perspective and realize that no matter how much money parents pay for their children to receive a Torah education, the dividends are infinitely greater. There is no price tag that one can place on eternal life in Gan Eden, and being spared the punishments of Gehinam. By providing their children with a proper religious education, parents ensure that their children will recite Kaddish and learn Torah in their memory, thereby guaranteeing their place in Gan Eden for all eternity – and we can all agree that there is no price too high for that.
