Kaddish

Kaddish is a Jewish prayer that praises God and expresses the hope for peace and redemption. Traditionally, it is recited during prayer services, especially by mourners to honor and remember deceased loved ones. There are several versions, but the Mourner’s Kaddish, in particular, is said by those who are grieving, serving as a way to affirm faith and keep the memory of the departed alive. It does not mention death; instead, it focuses on the glory of God and the community’s shared hopes for healing and renewal.
