[Avodah] Hilchos Kaddish

[rabbirichwolpoe at gmail.com]

I have just reviewed Ben Ish Chai on Vayhee year one and he has some
fascinating insights into Hilchot Kaddish

EG See his comments on Y'hei sh'meih 

1 It's meaning 
2 what bechol kocho means 

See Halacha 13 about a Qatan reciting solo -- which lich'ora would also
impact women saying it solo.

Also about Yahrzeit. 
And the 12 months 

-- 

On a tangent yehei shmeih... is targum for yehi sh-mo.. 

OTOH Tosafos [and others] presume a Yud in sh'meih to mean or imply sheim Kah 

>From where does this Hiddush stem? 

I have an approach [that maybe novel or might already be out there] 

Maybe there is a tradition that y'heih sh'meih is actually the Targum of
the 2nd Passuq of Hallel [Tehillim 113:2] VIZ. Y'hi sheim HASHEM m'vorach
[instead of just sh-mo]

But since our nusach of yehei sh'mei omits Hashem, so we need read it
back IN
[Almost like k'siv and q'rei]. Thus, the Yud which appears to be there
as simply an "eim miqra" for the tzeirei may indeed be functioning as a
place holder for Hashem's name [albeit the short name] based upon this
"supposed" tradition
