<html><div><IIRC, at a levayah, the long version of the kaddish is said only on days<br>when Tachanun is recited. On days without tachnun, a regular kaddish yasom<br>is said after the kevurah.<br><br>Why is this distinction not made at a siyum? I have never seen the long<br>kaddish replaced with a regular kaddish derabbanan at a siyum, even on<br>Shabbos.></div><div> </div><div> The long kaddish is omitted on non-tachanun days (and at all night burials) because it is said as the finale of tzidduk hadin, and tzidduk hadin is not said when tachanun isn't. Obviously, its use at a siyum has no connection with tzidduk hadin, and hence there is no reason not to say it at any siyum.</div><div> </div><div>EMT</div></html>
