The Chachamim<\/i> established the recital of Kaddish<\/i> at the conclusion of each stage of the prayer service. After the recital of the Korbanot<\/i>, Kaddish d\u2019Rabbanan<\/i> is recited; after the conclusion of Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i>, Half-Kaddish<\/i>; after Nefillat Apayim<\/i> and Tachanunim<\/i>, Half-Kaddish<\/i>; following Kedushah d\u2019Sidra<\/i>, Kaddish-Titkabal<\/i> is recited; after Shir Shel Yom<\/i>, Mourner\u2019s Kaddish <\/i>(Kaddish Yatom<\/i>); and after Pitum HaKetoret<\/i>, Kaddish d\u2019Rabbanan<\/i> (Shibolei HaLeket<\/i> 8). With the Kaddish<\/i>, we close each stage of the prayer service and elevate it towards the most supreme objective, the respect of Heaven, and from there we continue on to the next stage.<\/p>\n
There are four versions of Kaddish<\/i>: 1) Half-Kaddish<\/i><\/b>. This is the essence of the Kaddish<\/i>. It is called Half-Kaddish<\/i> so as to distinguish it from other Kaddishim<\/i> which contain further additions. In any section of prayer where a prolonged interruption is undesirable, Half-Kaddish<\/i> is recited. 2)<\/b> Kaddish Yehei Shelama<\/i><\/b>, also called Kaddish<\/i> Shalem<\/i> (Full-Kaddish<\/i>). This is recited after saying verses of Scripture, and contains an added request for peace and good life for us and for all Israel. We conclude, \u201cOseh shalom bimromav<\/i>\u2026 v\u2019imru Amen<\/i>\u201d. Since this Kaddish<\/i> is usually recited by people who have lost a parent, it is also called Kaddish Yatom<\/i> (Mourner\u2019s Kaddish<\/i>). 3)<\/b> Kaddish-Titkabal<\/i><\/b>. The chazan<\/i> recites this Kaddish<\/i> after the conclusion of the Amidah<\/i>. In it, before the addition of Kaddish Shalem<\/i>, a request is added that our prayers be accepted. 4)<\/b> Kaddish d\u2019Rabbanan<\/i><\/b>. This Kaddish<\/i> is recited after learning rabbinic teachings. Before the addition of Kaddish<\/i> Shalem<\/i>, we add a prayer in this Kaddish<\/i> for those who learn Torah, that they should merit long and prosperous lives.<\/p>\n
Responding Amen<\/i> to these additions is not as important as responding to the main part of the Kaddish<\/i>. Therefore, one may not interrupt the recital of Birkot Keriat Shema<\/i> and Pesukei d\u2019Zimrah<\/i> in order to respond to them.[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
