Question
Should an Avel who is Sephardi say a Sephardi kaddish if he is in a shul which is a different Nusach? And should a Nusach Ashkenaz (or Nusach Sephard) who is saying kaddish in a Sephardi Bet Knesset say his own Nusach or not?
Answer
Kaddish should be said according to the Nusach of the Shul, not according to the Avel's personal Nusach.
