Kaddish

[Jewscout]

Kaddish is an aramaic prayer recited in the presense of a minyan (a group of 10 jewish men). The most common is the Mourner's Kaddish which is recited with a mourner. Now most would think that this prayer would have to do w/ death or the loved one's memory. But Kaddish, in all it's forms, is a recitation of the belief in HaShem's omnimpotent power.

below is a mourner's kaddish from Jewfaq.org with the transliteration above the english.
