I found this month's issue of Context very interesting, as kaddish is the main subject of the Breakfast and Learn course I have been taking at Temple Israel Center in White Plains, NY. this past year and will continue to study this fall. Rabbi Dina Shargel has been reviewing a number of aspects of kaddish, touching on everything in this issue. Thanks so much for placing it all in one
concise form.
