| | The Mourner's Kaddish |
 | | Kaddish is usually recited by the mourner(s) while they stand with a minyan, or group of at least 10 adults in a congregation (it is also customary for Kaddish to be recited every morning service at synagogue). | | | The Kaddish is an ancient prayer of praise (written in Aramaic) that expresses a longing for the establishment of God’s kingdom on earth. | | | Kaddish D’Rabanan (Rabbi’s Kaddish) - This is perhaps the original form of the Kaddish, developed before the destruction of the Second Temple and recited by scholars to conclude their daily studies. |

| | MyJewishLearning.com - Lifecycle: Kaddish |
| | Since recitation of the Kaddish is believed to help elevate the soul of the dead (see Sanhedrin 104a), reciting it for a full year would imply that one's parent is one of those wicked people sentenced to a full year in hell; hence, the Kaddish is recited for only 11 months. | | | The Kaddish is recited in a prayer service, on a daily or weekly basis, after the death of a close relative. | | | According to Jewish law, the Kaddish cannot be recited unless a minimum of 10 adult Jews are gathered in a minyan [quorum for prayer]. |

| | Judaism 101: Life, Death and Mourning |
| | Kaddish is commonly known as a mourner's prayer, but in fact, variations on the Kaddish prayer are routinely recited at many other times, and the prayer itself has nothing to do with death or mourning. | | | On the Yahrzeit, sons recite Kaddish and take an aliyah (bless the Torah reading) in synagogue if possible, and all mourners light a candle in honor of the decedent that burns for 24 hours. | | | For eleven months of that period, starting at the time of burial, the son of the deceased recites the mourner's Kaddish every day. |

| | The kaddish is not so much the praise of God as a prayer for the praise of God. | | | After all, the kaddish is not recited where there is no required utterance or psalm of praise." At a funeral, by contrast, there is a required utterance, and it is the Justification of the Judgment, which is a selection of verses from Scripture, and so the kaddish must be recited. | | | The mourner's kaddish is only one of the varieties of kaddish that are recited in the house of worship. |

| | Growth Through Kaddish |
| | Kaddish is written in ancient Aramaic and is recited daily during the prayer services. | | | Saying Kaddish was affirming a new awareness of God, and it had grown out of Ari's relationship with me, in whose memory he was saying Kaddish. | | | Since the Kaddish causes a spiritual elevation of my soul, while the pain of Ari's loss remains, this knowledge is a comfort to him. |

| | FT March 1999: Kaddish |
| | Kaddish is a doxology, which Jewish tradition has mandated children to recite daily in a synagogue during the year of mourning for a deceased parent and then on the anniversary of his or her death thereafter. | | | In another intriguing passage, Wieseltier quotes a friend who questions his synagogue attendance for kaddish by saying, "But I believe in God and you don’t!" It would seem that this friend can say this because heretofore the only Leon Wieseltier she has known has been the nonbeliever. | | | For that reason, Leon’s saying kaddish "for him" is what filial piety calls for here and now. |

| | The Kaddish is to be recited only in the presence of a duly constituted quorum, a minyan, which consists of ten males above the age of Bar Mitzvah. | | | The Kaddish is recited at every prayer service, morning and evening, Shabbat and holiday, on days of fasting and rejoicing. | | | The period that the mourner recites the Kaddish for parents is, theoretically, a full calendar year. |

| | Kaddish |
| | The Kaddish originated with the destruction of the first Temple in 586 B.C.E. when the Kingdom of Israel was destroyed and the inhabitants were driven into the Babylonian captivity. | | | Those Jews who seldom attend a Beth Hamidrash and know little Hebrew may believe that the so-called prayer for the dead, the Kaddish, is a sad recital of misery and fear. | | | Self-defense has taken the place of recitation and the Jewish fighting spirit has replaced the mind of the fearful “ghetto” Jews who had no means of self-defense. |

| | Kaddish and Kedusha - Print Version - Darche Noam Institutions |
| | Kaddish - an ancient Aramaic prayer (that was definitely said in Talmudic times and might have earlier roots) about increasing the Divine Presence in the world (magnifying the G-d's Great Name). | | | Furthermore, Kedusha speaks of G-d's holiness using Hebrew biblical verses, quoting the angels, while Kaddish is only said in the Aramaic vernacular. | | | But, teaches Rav Tuketzinski, the Kaddish is more powerful because it brings holiness to places that the Kedusha cannot. |

| | Judaism: Women and Kaddish |
| | The origin of Kaddish as a mourner's prayer is somewhat obscure.(5) It praises God without making mention of the dead and is unintelligible to those who do not understand Aramaic. | | | Even bereaved Jews who do not identify with the theological premise that saying Kaddish brings benefits of one sort or another to the deceased feel a sense of duty to honor their dead with the recitation of this prayer. | | | AT FIRST GLANCE, ANY DISCUSSION OF THE APPROPRIATENESS of women saying Kaddish, the traditional mourner's prayer, seems to be superfluous. |

| | Saying Kaddish |
| | When we say Kaddish for our loved ones, we are exalting God on their behalf, in their place, for they are no longer alive to glorify God here among us. | | | And here we are this afternoon, in great numbers, all present to recite the Kaddish for someone: a mother or a father, a husband or a wife, a son or a daughter, a brother or a sister, a beloved grandparent, relative or friend. | | | The idea is that the souls of our departed ones are suspended in some kind of “purgatory,” and our recitation of this prayer intercedes on their behalf, easing their entrance to God’s blessed world to come. |

| | Kesher Talk: 09/07/2003 - 09/13/2003 |
| | Kaddish was much reviewed and discussed when it was published, and some of the reviews address the matters of faith and doctrine raised by Wieseltier in the course of critiquing the book. | | | In spiritual life, habit is shameful"--but the cryptic style and the overheated prose in which they are couched often leave the impression of mere posturing or a reaching for effect. | | | In that spirit, this week's Pintele Yid pick is an idiosyncratic and intense exploration of those rituals - particularly the history and practice of reciting the Kaddish - the sanctification of God's name - for one's beloved deceased. |

| | Kaddish |
| | When we recite the Kaddish, we are affirming our faith in God. | | | An interesting aside: Not only has standing for the Kaddish by mourners been a private rather than congregational act, but for centuries it was the nearly-universal custom for each mourner to stand and recite the Kaddish one person at a time, so that each mourner had his moment before God. | | | The answer to the first question is easy; the Kaddish is a prayer for mourners, recited for 11 months by those who have lost a mother or father, and 30 days for all other immediate relatives. |

| | Being Jewish - Spring 2001 - The Kaddish and the Grateful Dead |
| | The real Jewish prayer for the dead is "Eil Malei Rachamim",God who is merciful, since the Kaddish does not once mention death or mourning. | | | Beyond the afterworld explanation is a this-world rationale for saying the Mourner’s Kaddish. | | | Hence the custom of saying Kaddish for eleven months, since our loved ones, who may have had a lot of sins to purge, still couldn’t possibly need an entire year. |

| | He missed the funeral, and later learned that the Kaddish, or Jewish prayer for the dead, had not been read because too few men had been present (according to traditional Jewish law, at least ten men, a minyan, must be present for certain services to be performed). | | | There is an honesty and Zen simplicity to the demented mind; we see this charming simplicity in 'Kaddish' when Naomi tells of serving God a bowl of lentil soup. | | | Putterman had a copy of the prayer in his apartment, and the two of them performed the ceremony themselves, two years too late. |

| | Kaddish is a prayer for one's departed which is recited daily during the first year after a person's passing. | | | When a person leads the prayer in the synagogue on the Yahrzeit, it can elevate the soul even more than the Kaddish. | | | The legal tradition of Judaism which is usually contrasted with its theology, ethics, and folklore, Halachic decisions determine normative practice, and where there is a dispute, these decisions follow the majority opinion of the rabbis. |
