The Mourners Kaddish
Parent Name and Parent Name would like to take this moment to acknowledge loved ones who are no longer physically with us, but are here with us in spirit this evening as we celebrate this joyous occasion. In honor of Parent Name beloved parents, ______ and ______ I would like to recite The Mourners Kaddish.
The Kaddish praises God, and is said in memory of the dead. The Mourner's Kaddish is recited in every Jewish service. Our worship includes remembrances of our loved ones who are no longer with us. We sanctify their memories by extolling God's majesty, praising all God's creation, and praying for peace to reign everywhere.
The Kaddish keeps the living together, and forms a bridge to the mysterious
realm of the dead. One might almost say that this prayer is the guardian of
the people by whom it is uttered; therein lies the warrant of its
continuance.
In reciting the Kaddish, we affirm our awareness of holiness in our
world. Much of our experience of divine goodness, grace and love has come to us through
those whose lives have touched our own. We invoke the ultimate power of love and caring as we sanctify God's name.
Glorified and sanctified be God's great name throughout the world
which He has created according to His will.
May He establish His kingdom in your lifetime and during your days,
and within the life of the entire House of Israel, speedily and soon;
and say, Amen.
May His great name be blessed forever and to all eternity.
Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, extolled and honored,
adored and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He,
beyond all the blessings and hymns, praises and consolations that
are ever spoken in the world; and say, Amen.
May there be abundant peace from heaven, and life, for us
and for all Israel; and say, Amen.
He who creates peace in His celestial heights,
may He create peace for us and for all Israel;
and say, Amen
(It is customary for a family member to again recite it in Hebrew)
