Kaddish

What is Kaddish?
In event of the passing of a family member, one is obligated  to recite the Kaddish in memory of the deceased.

Kaddish is a prayer which is said to elevate the soul throughout the spiritual worlds in accompaniment to Gan eden (paradise). 
 

How long is one obligated to recite the Kaddish?
In the event of the passing of one’s parents, the Kaddish should be recited for the period of eleven months (from the day of the burial).

The Kaddish must be recited before a quorum (Minyan) of ten adults, three times a day, during the Shacharit (morning service), Mincha (afternoon service) and Arvit (evening service).

In the event of the passing of other family members, Kaddish should be recited for the period of thirty days.  

 

Who is responsible to recite the Kaddish?
In the event of a family member’s passing, the family is obligated to insure the Kaddish is recited. Preferably the son/s of the deceased should recite the Kaddish themselves throughout the obligatory period.

If the sons are unable to recite the Kaddish themselves, or in a case  that there are no surviving sons, then the surviving family is obligated to insure the kaddish is recited during the three daily services, throughout the obligatory period. It’s customary to hire an individual who can replace you for the kaddish responsibility.
