Kaddish after leap year

Question:

My brother in law passed away 7 Adar II5784 in USA and was burried 9 Adar II.
He has no male mourners I have said kaddish for him in Israel since Mincha 7 Adar II 5784 since we live in Israel, and were told that my wife should begin shiva immediately (7 Adar II 5784). Through what date do say Kaddish for him next week? (6 Shvat? 8 Shvat?)

Answer:

Hello,

Kaddish is said according to burial date. Therefore you would calculate 11months from 9th of Adar II, which would be until the 8th of Shevat after Mincha.

Best wishes
