The sacred tradition of reciting the Kaddish prayer has been observed by Jews across generations. This powerful prayer honors those who have departed from this physical life.
Purpose: Kaddish is recited for eleven months after a person’s passing and then annually on the yahrtzeit (anniversary). It serves as a merit and elevates the soul.
Ideal Practice: Ideally, the children of the deceased recite Kaddish three times daily during the first eleven months. When this isn’t possible, hiring someone to recite it becomes an option.
