Reply To: Respect for Kaddish

As an avel, to hear someone disrespect the kaddish would be a slap in the face. Not only to the men who are davening but to all who are listening and thinking of their loved ones they have lost especially if their are still in pain from the loss. Each “amen” to the kaddish gives the neshoma and aliyah. Each amen counts. And each Kaddish is in fact the only open “last respect” one gives to a nifter/nifteres. So to take that lightly is really uncouth.
