Kaddish
(Aram., ‘holy’).
Aramaic
doxology recited at the end of the individual sections of Jewish services. There are four different types of kaddish (or five, if an expanded form recited by some after a burial, is included).
The prayer is said standing, facing
Jerusalem
. It is of ancient origin, being mentioned in the
Talmud
as the concluding prayer at public
aggadic
discourse. According to
Orthodox
, kaddish can only be recited by men, but
Conservative
and
Reform
allow women also. The point can be critical, since it is necessary (
Soferim
10. 7) for ten to be present if kaddish is to be recited.
