Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the origins, growth, and language of the Kaddish prayer, a declaration of praise recited in the synagogue. The author, an expert in Aramaic, illustrates how elements of this prayer have been borrowed from the Aramaic Targum to the Bible, explains the prayer's inclusion of Hebrew words and phrases, and shows how the Aramaic of the Kaddish is very different from popular Babylonian Aramaic. The author also discusses the linguistic relationship of the Kaddish to Psalms, the Shema, and other early Jewish liturgical prayers. The book concludes by exploring how the Kaddish became a prayer for the dead and a synagogue prayer with responses.
