Ask the Rabbi
- Halacha
- Sections of the Prayers
- Kaddish and Keddusha
Question
Since there is no mention of the deceased in the Kaddish but the praise of Hashem, is it wrong to vocalize or make a melody when saying Kaddish?
Answer
It is a common practice in many Shules that the Chazzan sings the Kaddish on different festive occasions. As long as the congregants in your Shul are happy, there is no problem.
