MEMORIAL DAY --2015

Kaddish is a prayer whose recitation, over time, has become a strongly held custom for mourners. The act of reciting Kaddish is considered to be a Mitzvah and the recitation of Mourner's Kaddish said in honor of the deceased, but focuses on life, promise and hope for individuals of the Jewish faith.'
