Kaddish D'Rabanan

("Rabbis' Kaddish")

This version of the Kaddish is recited at certain points of the service and following Torah study:

Hebrew and Transliteration:




Translation:

Exalted and hallowed be His great Name. (Congregation responds: "Amen.")

Throughout the world which He has created according to His Will. May He establish His kingship, bring forth His redemption and hasten the coming of His Moshiach. (Cong: "Amen.")

In your lifetime and in your days and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel, sword, famine and death shall cease from us and from the entire Jewish nation, speedily and soon, and say, Amen.

(Cong: "Amen. May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity, blessed.")

May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed and praised, glorified, exalted and extolled, honored, adored and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be He. (Cong: "Amen.")

Beyond all the blessings, hymns, praises and consolations that are uttered in the world; and say, Amen. (Cong: "Amen.")

Upon Israel, and upon our sages, and upon their disciples, and upon all the disciples of their disciples, and upon all those who occupy themselves with the Torah, here or in any other place, upon them and upon you, may there be abundant peace, grace, kindness, compassion, long life, ample sustenance and deliverance, from their Father in heaven; and say, Amen. (Cong: Amen.)

May there be abundant peace from heaven, and a good life for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen. (Cong: "Amen.")

He Who makes peace (Between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur substitute: "the peace") in His heavens, may He make peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen. (Cong: "Amen.")

I am fasting for the first time (besides Yom Kippur) today because a nice woman in my Zumba class told me about it last night!

Kaddish
This site has been of great aid in helping me learn the kaddish. It is almost three weeks since my father's passing. Finally, I have reached a point where I can recite kaddish with confidence out loud without making any substantial errors. Saying kaddish is of great comfort to me and saying each morning is the most satisfying moment of my day..

Kaddish Prayer
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! It is 4:30 in the morning and I have been looking for this prayer all night; as my mom just passed away this afternoon and I needed a quick reminder of this prayer! So, again, I thank you so much for having this on your website!

rabbis' kaddish
Here is the paragraph that is added in for the rabbis' kaddish:

Upon Israel, and upon our sages, and upon their disciples, and upon all the disciples of their disciples, and upon all those who occupy themselves with the Torah, here or in any other place, upon them and upon you, may there be abundant peace, grace, kindness, compassion, long life, ample sustenance and deliverance, from their Father in heaven; and say, Amen. (Cong: Amen.)
