What is the kaddish prayer?

The kaddish is in Aramaic already mentioned in part in the Talmud. The text contains praise and glorification to the Creator of the universe. In actuality, the kaddish has a number of versions that are said at different times. It starts with the words, “Yitkadal viyitkadesh shemei raba” – May the great name of G-d the Creator of the universe be praised and glorified. It expresses the belief in G-d even in difficult moments of loss and separation and concludes with the prayer that peace will come to the Land of Israel… “He makes peace in the upper realms, He will make peace for us and for the entire Jewish nation, and you should say, amen.”

Who recites the kaddish?

The orphan’s kaddish is designated for orphans who lost their mother or father and is recited during the year of their passing.
One can say kaddish after a brother, sister or wife. If a person

passed away and didn’t leave behind children or other relatives that can recite the kaddish, it’s customary to appoint someone to do this for the family. We are suggesting this service to you.

For how long is the kaddish said?

According to Jewish tradition, the recital of the kaddish causes the soul to ascend to the higher worlds. Whenever we do a good deed or pray on behalf of the soul, the soul merits to ascend to the best spiritual place. The Talmud recounts that the wicked are judged in purgatory for the duration of 12 months. For this reason, the kaddish isn’t recited for a full year, for it shouldn’t be understood, Heaven forefend, that the father or mother are being judged in purgatory as wicked people.

As is the custom of many people, including the Chabad custom, one stops saying the kaddish after 11 months. According to the Sephardic custom, one stops saying kaddish 1 week before the conclusion of the year. After the first year, one says kaddish on the day of passing, the yahrzeit, as per the Jewish calendar.

If we were, in a nutshell, summarize the topic of the kaddish, we would say that the recital of the kaddish tells us that G-d is great and that everything comes from Him, to the extent that whatever takes place in the end is for the good.

How is the kaddish recited?

Generally speaking, the kaddish is said in the synagogue with a quorum of at least 10 people. It shouldn’t be said alone. We suggest that you go to the synagogue and to coordinate with the caretaker when and how to say the prayer. The congregation listens and answers amen. If there are a number of such people in the synagogue, it should be said together in order that the word amen should said for all of them together.

Is there a connection the soul of the deceased and the members of the family?

Jewish tradition teaches us that after death, the soul ascends where it is judged for its deeds during its lifetime. By saying kaddish during this time of judgment we in actuality are saying that the soul is in fact good. It left behind a family with the same inspiration that teaches the greatness of G-d, the Creator of the universe and its leader. As such, we give a gift to the soul for it to merit good judgment and therefore will receive all of the spiritual flow from Above. At the same time, the soul also prays for us that in the merit of doing so, we should have all that we need.
