From Publishers Weekly
When his father died in 1996, Wieseltier began to observe the Jewish rituals of the traditional year of mourning, going three times daily to synagogue to recite Kaddish, the prayer for the dead. Between the prayers and his daily work as literary editor of the New Republic, he sought out ancient, medieval and modern Jewish texts in an effort to understand the history and meaning of Kaddish. He discovered that early texts dictated that the mourner's kaddish be recited only on Saturday nights, but the prayers were prolonged so that the souls of the sinners of Israel released from Gehenna would not hurry back to hell. Wieseltier reports that through his study and practice of Kaddish he realized that the past is at the mercy of the present. "The present can condemn the past to oblivion or obscurity," he notes. "Whatever happens to the past will happen to it posthumously. And so the saga of the family is also the saga of the tradition." Wieseltier provides a work of history, philosophy and spiritual memoir where he deals with the meaning of freedom and the perplexity of tradition. His book demonstrates how the practice of religion meets the needs of a troubled soul.

From the Back Cover
"Read this extraordinary book and you will be both intellectually enriched and deeply moved. You will find in it Leon Wieseltier's passion for learning and remarkable style. His exploration of the Jewish laws of mourning, so thoughtful, so necessary, is the best I have ever read. His Kaddish is not only for his father; it is for all fathers for whom no kaddish has been said."
-Elie Wiesel

From AudioFile
The Kaddish is a Jewish prayer recited during mourning. The author, a secularized Jew, came to find comfort in it after his father's death. He then proceeded to "look it up" and to reflect on its curious power--which examinations he details in this book. It is written for educated American Jews who are seeking to connect with religious traditions they have neglected and about which they know next to nothing. Actor and singer Theodore Bikel, himself steeped in this culture, delivers this lesson in conversational, friendly, measured tones, striving for clarity and intimacy, and achieving authority without having to try.
