Maimonides
Research Institute in Haifa offers
us a masterpiece to understand
in every smallest detail Kaddish. As the title itself suggests, we
are exposed to the full order of the
Kaddish, including ancient manuscripts. This book is the first English
translation of Kaddish, it was first published in Hebrew in 1966.
HaRav David Assaf, zt”l was born in Poland and then moved to Eretz Israel and settled in Haifa,
where for 30 years he served as Rav.
The brilliant scholar, Rabbi David Assaf, of blessed memory –– have gathered and compiled
alphabetically the commentaries and laws from the writings of the Acharonim,
Rishonim and Shulchan Aruch.
The explanation to correct daily conduct in Aggadah
Kaddish, the Rabbis’ Kaddish, the mourner’s Kaddish and other Kaddish are all
explained in details.
Kaddish is the cadence of all prayer services and
Kaddish marks the boundary between sections and as the Sages says; The purpose
of Kaddish is to connect the words.
To this version, the original Hebrew texts have all
been transliterated according to the following rule: Consonants follow the standard
Ashkenazi pronunciation; Vowels
follow the standard Sephardi pronunciation.
The main themes are: The Kaddish of the great Sages,
The text and Language of Kaddish, Deeper Implications, Its meaning and
pronunciation, the Kaddish following Aggadah, The Rabbis’ Kaddish, The mourner’s
Kaddish, The obligation of reciting Kaddish, Death, burial and the twelve
months of mourning, Laws of Kaddish, Kaddish in the three daily prayers and on
Sabbath.
One ideal book to G-d fearing Jews to fill the seats
of Battei Midrashim worldwide. As stated by the author "Many men, great of both mind and faith, have set
their minds to studying this prayer…a prayer upon which has rested a special
holy aura throughout the generations”. Kaddish strengthens the Divine service and respect and love to
the dear departed.
