  1. The sequel to the popular Living Kaddish, it is a must read and a great gift for those saying Kaddish.

    This book will uplift and inspire you with stories of what people have done to say Kaddish for a loved one in countries on every continent in the world.

    Publicly sanctifying Hashem’s name at the time of personal loss and grief is the greatest expression of one’s faith. That faith is at the core of Jewish survival through the millennia. Reciting Kaddish is a great merit for those departed whom we love. Rabbi Zweig captures the power of Kaddish with these captivating and inspiring real-life stories.

    "You will be fascinated at how many incredible global stories there are regarding the dedication to the recitation of Kaddish. We owe a debt of gratitude to Rabbi Zweig for portraying so many heroic Jews, both near and far. I suggest you read this work as you will surely be inspired. I know that I was."
