[Avodah] Avel leading Qaddish and Benching

[rabbirichwolpoe at gmail.com]

Given: 
We have a well established custom of mourner's saying Qaddish and 
There is also a minhag for mourner's to lead benching 
 
Q: 
What is the connection? 
 
A: 
The essence of Qaddish in Talmudic terms is to trigger the "yehei sh'mei
rabba mevarach"

Similarly In benching the leader triggers yehi sheim Hashem mevorach

Therefore, both these cases involve causing "Qiddush Hashem"
