Commentary MOURNER’S KADDISH. It is sometimes difficult for a mourner to reintegrate into a community after the loss of a close relation. Equally, it may be difficult for the community to know how to receive a mourner in its midst. In reciting the Kaddish, the mourner takes a formal role in relation to the community. The mourner is able to say: “I am here in your midst, praying alongside you,”; and the congregation can respond: “Along with you, we all turn our eyes to God.” The prophet Ezekiel remarks that after great tragedy, God’s name will become great throughout the world (38:23); with some grammatical changes, these are the first words of the Kaddish. By the end of the Mourner’s Kaddish, whatever our loss, whatever tragedy we have suffered, we look to God in hope and we hold on to a vision of some moment when we all may be at peace.
MarginNote Holding On and Letting Go Hold on and let go. On the surface of things contradictory counsel. But one does not negate the other. The two are complementary, dialectical two sides of one coin. Hold on—death is not the final word. The grave no oblivion. Hold on in Kaddish, yahrzeit, Yizkor. No gesture, no kindness, no smile evaporates—Every kindness, every embrace has its afterlife in our minds, our hearts, our hands. Hold on Not enslaving memory that sells the future to the past nor recollection that makes us passive, listless, resigned. But memory that releases us for a new life. The flow of life—the divine process gives and takes retains and creates. Return the dust to the earth not to bury hope but to resurrect the will to live. —HAROLD M. SCHULWEIS
