I haven't been following the whole discussion on Areivim, but I just saw
the post on Avodah (entitled "Airline Prayer") referencing the question
of whether a hakpadah to say kaddish is sometimes given undue weight
when it comes into conflict with other halakhic values.
I was actually just thinking about that this morning, while noticing
somebody sitting in front of me say a complete kaddish between putting
on his shel yad and his shel rosh!
==========================
Me- No doubt this is a good example where the answer is clear however
don't underestimate the relative priority which may not be misplaced if
we look at it from an emotional component (think about prohibition of
homosexuality versus eating treif versus chillul shabbat versus gilui
arayot - how would we set relative priorities)
=========================================
I have also seen, on a number of occasions, cases where people wait for
a minyan to start pesukei dezimrah (even though a minyan would have
definitely arrived before Barekhu), because somebody "has to" say
kaddish after the beraisa of R' Yishma`eil, resulting in the whole
minyan saying keri'as shema` after the zeman.
====================================
Me- Interesting example - for those who don't hold the position that
it's an issue to say K"S w/o its brachot, perhaps it would be gmilat
chesed to say K"S byichidut to allow it
Not saying kaddish should be kneged kulam but it's not always simple
issue.
