Kaddish - for USMB members who are mourning

[Statistikhengst]

That is very kind of you, CK. I hope you will enjoy reading the Kaddish. Pretty neat stuff.

With all my faults, like any other person, I am convinced that Adoshem knows exactly what he is doing. The universe is unfolding exactly as it is supposed to, and we are part of it.

I am reviving this thread for a specific reason:

one of our newest members, who was part of what I affectionately call the large "Andromeda Mothership crew" of relatively new members that is nestled down deep in the nether regions of USMB , KennyBas, has died.

His death, as the death of all human beings, is a loss for us all, regardless how many people knew him or not. We grieve for his family, his friends, all of his loved ones and hope with sincerity that his journey to the Almighty is a good one.

I thank gtopa1 for making this information available and also remind the entire USMB membership: if you lose someone and need a place to just write a thought, a memory or receive a condolence, this thread is one possible place to do it. Though the Kaddish is a prayer central to Judaism, the comfort and strength that comes from it is meant for people here of all faiths and walks of life, without exception. All are welcome here and are welcome to express thoughts of lovingkindness in their own way.

The description of Kaddish and what it means can be found in the OP.

My condolences and kindest thoughts to the family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances of KennyBas.

My condolences to family friends and loved ones. He was of opposite political views relative to me yet I feel his loss and the differences we had seem insignificant compared to the fate we all share ultimately. Thank you very much Statistik for doing this announcement and for being a decent good person....

Thank you Stat. Though not Jewish myself I have long respected Kaddish and dedicate it to Ken.

very sorry to hear that, my prayers go out to his family.

 

[Mertex]

I didn't get to know Ken, but I'm sorry to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends and to anyone that knew him and is feeling his loss.

 

[Derideo_Te]

My condolences to the bereaved family and friends. Our time here is short and the loss is measured by those we loved and who loved us in turn.

Peace

Kenny was a good man. Although I never got to meet him face to face, we've been virtual friends for close to decade.

He will be missed by most if not all of our band of brothers and sisters.
