Performed by Reverend Abraham Lopes Cardozo


The half qaddish (Sanctification of His Name) is the most recurring text in the Jewish liturgy serving as a marker between the different sections of the services. It is recited with different melodies depending on the liturgical occasion. This simple melody is recited by the hazzan on regular Friday night Sabbath services before Barekhu, the call that marks the beginning of the service by the hazzan (compare below no. 30).
