Subject: Re: HJ/ Kaddish, Tradition vs Integrity


The cadence of the following Kaddish is the same as the traditional one. 
Instead
of God we talk about the compassionate spirit. Some humanists are comfortable 
with this, some are not.  -Susan Averbach (I got this Kaddish from Stacie Fine. 
I don't know her source.)
