Reciting mourner's kaddish for a parent stands at the heart of the Jewish bereavement experience. While traditionally this public recitation has been seen as a son's responsibility, a daughter reciting kaddish is not a modern concept. The halakhic literature addresses questions such as: May a daughter recite mourner's kaddish? May she recite kaddish alone or must it be in conjunction with a man? Should her kaddish be said aloud or quietly?
The lecture will be in English and books will be available for sale.
