When Allen Ginsberg famously began his idiosyncratic eulogy of his mother by asking the reader to imagine him “up all night, talking, talking, talking, reading the Kaddish aloud, listening to Ray Charles,” he did not pause to explain what exactly this thing called Kaddish was or why he would have been reading it aloud in his mother’s memory. Nor did he need to: there is no Jewish prayer better known to the non-Jewish world than Kaddish, and the concept of saying Kaddish “for” someone has entered the American lexicon of cultural phrases known to all and used freely without the need to translate or explain. Neither Imre Kertesz’s Kaddish for an Unborn Child nor Leon Wieseltier’s 1998 bestseller Kaddish provides a translation or explanation on the dustjacket, for example, the assumption being that anyone cultured enough to want to read either book—and surely not only Jewish readers—would know what the word means and what its use as the title implies about the book’s content. Nor did Leonard Bernstein seem to feel the need for any explanation when he named his third symphony “Kaddish,” and left it at that.

When Leon Wieseltier’s father died in March 1996, he began to observe the rituals of the traditional year of mourning, going daily to the synagogue to recite the Kaddish. Between his prayers and his everyday responsibilities, he sought out ancient, medieval and modern Jewish tests in pursuit of the Kaddish’s history and meaning. And every day he studied, translated and wrote his own reflections on the obscure texts that he found, punctuating his journal with stories about life in his synagogue and his family’s progress through grief. In reflecting upon the fate of his father and of his people, he wrestles with problems of loss and faith, the meaning of tradition, freedom and determinism, and the perplexity of rational religion. ‘Leon Wieseltier’s Kaddish, a poignant book prompted by his year of mourning for a particular death, the death of his father, is a contradictory but illuminating journey . . . a profound quest for the origins of the Kaddish prayer’ Daily Telegraph ‘Much more than a personal memoir . . . he speaks wisely about the most important things: about meaning and loss; about death and life; about the nature of ritual and tradition . . . Submitting oneself to [Kaddish’s] process, one discovers that, like the best novels and poems, it illuminates the world’ Times Literary Supplement

Set Against a background of Jewish history from biblical times to the Crusades, and from World War II to the present, The Mystery of the Kaddish traces the history of the Kaddish and how it has evolved. The Kaddish prayer does not speak of death. The prayer proclaims, without equivocation, acceptance of the power of God and the Divine decree. Given this, why is the Kaddish recited after the death of a close relative, in many instances three times a day for eleven months? The authors reveal that the rabbis of the Dark Ages created the Kaddish to alleviate the tremendous grief thrust upon them by massive slaughter and random killings. Following massacres, rabbis were compelled to create a prayer for the dead loved ones to memorialize the victims. Rabbis combined Talmudic passages with Christian ritual to create a prayer that Jews used to commemorate their horrific losses. The Mystery of the Kaddish traces the origin, history, and growth of the Kaddish, now a mainstay in all segments of Judaic practice. It also features a comprehensive glossary of Jewish history.

From beloved New York Times bestselling author and award-winning journalist—the definitive guide to Judaism’s end-of-life rituals, revised and updated for Jews of all backgrounds and beliefs. From caring for the dying to honoring the dead, Anita Diamant explains the Jewish practices that make mourning a loved one an opportunity to experience the full range of emotions—grief, anger, fear, guilt, relief—and take comfort in the idea that the memory of the deceased is bound up in our lives and actions. In Saying Kaddish you will find suggestions for conducting a funeral and for observing the shiva week, the shloshim month, the year of Kaddish, the annual yahrzeit, and the Yizkor service. There are also chapters on coping with particular losses—such as the death of a child and suicide—and on children as mourners, mourning non-Jewish loved ones, and the bereavement that accompanies miscarriage. Diamant also offers advice on how to apply traditional views of the sacredness of life to hospice and palliative care. Reflecting the ways that ancient rituals and customs have been adapted in light of contemporary wisdom and needs, she includes updated sections on taharah (preparation of the body for burial) and on using ritual immersion in a mikveh to mark the stages of bereavement. And, celebrating a Judaism that has become inclusive and welcoming. Diamant highlights rituals, prayers, and customs that will be meaningful to Jews-by-choice, Jews of color, and LGBTQ Jews. Concluding chapters discuss Jewish perspectives on writing a will, creating healthcare directives, making final arrangements, and composing an ethical will.

For centuries, Jews have turned to the Mourner’s Kaddish prayer upon experiencing a loss. This groundbreaking book explores what the recitation of Kaddish has meant specifically to women. Did they find the consolation, closure, and community they were seeking? How did saying Kaddish affect their relationships with God, with prayer, with the deceased, and with the living? With courage and generosity, 52 authors from around the world reflect upon their experiences of mourning. They share their relationships with the family members they lost and what it meant to move on; how they struggled to balance the competing demands of child rearing, work, and grief; what they learned about tradition and themselves; and the disappointments and particular challenges they confronted as women. The collection shares viewpoints from diverse perspectives and backgrounds and examines what it means to heal from loss and to honor memory in family relationships, both loving and fraught with pain. It is a precious record of women searching for their place within Jewish tradition and exploring the connections that make human life worthwhile.

A mourner's prayer, recited by the offspring of a deceased parent, the Kaddish is recited in Lublin and Prague, in New York and London, in Moscow and in Tripoli – in fact, wherever there is a Jewish community. Even people who ordinarily never set foot in a synagogue will recite the Kaddish when a parent passes away and on the anniversary of their parent’s death. But what is it that makes this prayer so deeply moving and relevant? In this endlessly fascinating book, the authors set out on an around-the-world journey to unravel its powerful mystery. Their fascinating text explores changes in interpretation across communities and cultures, its part in Medieval times as a vehicle to make sense of persecution, Christian influences, the musical and tonal complexities of recitation, concepts of death, as well as the prayer's rich and complex history. Including stories, memories, travelogue and input from scholars and rabbis, The Mystery of the Kaddish is a beautiful voyage of discovery about a prayer which does not actually speak of death, yet has been moving the hearts and spirit of communities for centuries. Leon Charney is a graduate of Yeshiva University and of Brooklyn Law School. A former US Presidential advisor he has published three books. Saul Mayzlish is a graduate of Yeshiva Nahlim and Bar Ilan University. A well known Israeli broadcaster and journalist, his many books include Judaism in Practice co-written with the Chief Rabbi of Israel.
