The Kaddish: *Created for the Kerr Family in loving memory of James Gary Kerr. (December 9, 2005)

(Leader:) Magnified and sanctified be His great name in the world which HE created according to His Will. And may He establish His Kingdom During your life and during your days and during the life of all the house of Israel, speedily and in the near future, and say, AMEN.

(Response:) May His great Name be blessed forever and ever.

(Leader:) Blessed, praised and glorified, exalted, extolled and honored, adored and lauded be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be HE, beyond all blessings and hymns, praises and songs that are uttered in the world and say, AMEN.

In a time of tragedy and loss, it would be easy to become bitter toward the Lord and reject Him. At precisely such a time, we rise to praise HIM and to publicly affirm our belief in HIS Righteousness. "I found trouble and sorrow. But I called upon the name of the LORD..." Psalm 116:3-4 May you at this time, stand up and pronounce to those around you that HE is King of Creation and that someday HE will rule and reign over all. Shema Israel!
