QUESTION: Is an adopted son
permitted to say Kadish for the
parents who have adopted him?
ANSWER: The typical case
which is brought up in the Jewish
response such as those of the
Chasam Shofer, deals with the
general question as to whether an
orphan is allowed to say Kaddish
for the one who raised him after
ne became an orphan. The ten
dency is to refer to the statement
in the Talmud (Babli, Sanhedrin,
49, which states tn at he who
raises a child, (even though he is
not the natural parent) is con-
sidered by the Scriptures as if he
had given birth to him. The gen.
eral feeling is that an adopted"
child owes its foster parent the
respect that one owes to his
natural parents. It was, however,
mentioned in one of the decisions
OF the Chasam Sofer that those in
the synagogue reciting the Kadish
for their natural parents had GER
tain preference and that in some
cases an extra Kadish was insti-
tuted so that the mourner for fos-
ter parents could fulfill his obliga-
ton without raising a question of
preference or interference with
those who recited it for their
natural parents.
QUESTION: Is il proper to hire
someone to recite the Kadish after
the deceased?
ANSWER: In a case where a
man has left no sons the authori-
ties have sanctioned the privilege
OF hiring someone to say Kadish
for the deceased. Under certain
conditions it is proper, according
to some authorities, for a son to
hire someone to study appropri-
ate Jewish texts in memory of
the deceased and to recite the
KadiSh after the study, It is men,
toned that the famous "Shlomo
Kluger" left word before he died
that righteous and sanity man
be hired to say Kadish for him
and study his books. The later
rabbis were insistent that the
practice of hiring one to say
Kadish be limited to cases where
no son was left to exercise this
obligation.
+ =
QUESTION: Is it customary for
a father to say Kadish for his son?
ANSWER: Although questioned
by some authorities, it is general
ly agreed that father may say
the Kadish for his son, should the
son die before the father. Accord
ing to some authorities if it were
the older son who passed away,
the younger brothers should, say
the Kadish for him, if the father
has no objection to his sons re-
citing Kadish during his lifetime.
In s'u c h cases a qualified rabbi
should be consulted.
