Description

The Kaddish prayer, recited numerous times in each Jewish prayer service, but only in the synagogue, is a mourner’s prayer on one of tis forms, even though death is not mentioned in the prayer. This podcast will help explain the specific importance of this prayer, its meaning, why it is in the Aramaic language and not in Hebrew, and why only recited in a community setting.
