Respecting tradition

of changing times
Welcome

Here is a Kaddish prayer you can recite at home without a minyan being present:
רִ ּונֹו ׁשֶ ל עֹולָ ם, אֱ ֹלהֵ י הָ רּוחֹות ל כׇ ל־ָּבׂשָ ר
Ribbono shel olam, elohei ha-ruh|.|ot l’khol basar —
Master of the world, God of the spirit of all flesh, it is revealed and known before You that it is my fervent desire to praise Your name, and to remember and honor my beloved: father/mother/son/daughter/ husband/wife/partner/brother/sister/________ [the name and relation of the person may be inserted] by reciting the Mourner’s Kaddish in the company of a minyan. Though circumstances prevent me from doing so, may my yearning and prayers find favor in Your eyes, and be accepted and received before You as if I had prayed that Kaddish. May you grant hope and healing to all who suffer, and may we soon be able to once again safely gather in holiness and joy. May Your name, Adonai, be elevated and sanctified everywhere on earth and may peace reign everywhere. ֹ
