קַדִּישׁ דְּרַבָּנָן

Kaddish D’Rabbanan

Here many congregations recite Kaddish D’Rabbanan. By tradition, mourners and those observing Yahrzeit have recited Kaddish D’Rabbanan, yet it may be said by anyone who has read or heard instruction from a text grounded in Torah.

Hebrew

יִתְגַּדַּל וְיִתְקַדַּשׁ שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא,
בְּעָלְמָא דִּי בְרָא, כִּרְעוּתֵהּ,
וְיַמְלִיךְ מַלְכוּתֵהּ בְּחַיֵּיכוֹן וּבְיוֹמֵיכוֹן
וּבְחַיֵּי דְכָל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל,
בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַן קָרִיב,
וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן.

And we say: Amen.
