We are coming to the final prayers. It’s the big finish. It’s the reason I’m here. The prayer I’ve heard thousands of times. Only now, I’m the one saying it. I’m the one standing, publicly announcing my state of despair and loss. Others sit, but I stand and recite the Mourner’s Kaddish as I have done every day since my father’s collapse. This ancient Aramaic poem, recited daily for eleven months after the death of a parent, does not mention death, sorrow, or loss, only God’s greatness:
May His great Name grow exalted and sanctified in the world that He created as He willed. May He give reign to His kingship in your lifetimes and in your days and in the lifetimes of the entire Family of Israel, swiftly and soon.
May His great Name be blessed forever and ever. Blessed, praised, glorified, exalted, extolled, mighty, upraised, and lauded be the Name of the Holy One. Blessed is He beyond any blessing and song, praise and consolation that are uttered in the world.
May there be abundant peace from Heaven, and life upon us and upon all Israel. He Who makes peace in His heights, may He make peace upon us and upon all Israel.
