[Avodah] kaddish kashes

[Rich, Joel]

A side question:  Are the halachos of kadima in kadish actually
me'akeiv, as in, does a shul really *need* to follow them?  It seems
that many of them were kind of arbitrary, to have some kind of system to
stop the fighting in shul.  (Or is that just me being an am ha'aretz and
trying to talk about something I know nothing about?)

KT,
Michael

In Nefesh Harav (P135) R'HS  brings down the M"A who quotes the kadima
order for kaddish. He then quotes that the Shaagat Aryeh was asked to be
machria between 2 chiyuvim and he told them to draw lots.  When one of
the combatants questioned the psak, the S"A asked him how did he think
the M"A arrived at his order, we're doing the same thing.  R' YBS would
quote this story to show that sometimes does not have a definitive
opinion on a question (which is the reason I remember this)
