How can you find a familiar passage in the right service context?
The Ashkenaz text has 33 leaves titled Kaddish, from Mourner's Kaddish to Kaddish Shalem, in 20 Shabbat and 13 weekday places; find yours by its service path.
Why a title is not enough
Every leaf in Amidora sits on a path through the outline, such as Weekday, Shacharit, Pesukei Dezimra, and carries a full reference to its source edition. A familiar title can appear on many leaves. In the Ashkenaz text, 33 leaves have Kaddish in their title: 12 Mourner's Kaddish, 9 Half Kaddish, 8 Kaddish Shalem and 4 Kaddish DeRabbanan.
One of the four Kaddish DeRabbanan leaves is spelled Kaddish Derabbanan in the source, so even an exact title search can miss an entry. In the Sefard and Edot HaMizrach texts no leaf is titled Kaddish at all; it appears inside larger readings.
Each leaf also carries its Sefaria reference, which repeats the full path, so two Half Kaddish leaves can still be told apart after copying.
Finding the right one
- Start from the service you intend: weekday or Shabbat, then the prayer service.
- Open the section that leads to the passage, such as Pesukei Dezimra or Concluding Prayers.
- Confirm the title in that section, and read the leaves around it.
- When saving, record the full path, not just the title.
Kaddish in the weekday morning service
In Ashkenaz weekday Shacharit alone, Kaddish DeRabbanan appears under Korbanot, a Mourner's Kaddish and a Half Kaddish under Pesukei Dezimra, Half Kaddish again after Tachanun and in the Torah reading, and Kaddish Shalem in the Concluding Prayers. Of the 33 Ashkenaz Kaddish leaves, 20 are in the Shabbat part of the outline and 13 in the weekday part.
- Mourner's Kaddish
- 12 leaves
- Half Kaddish
- 9 leaves
- Kaddish Shalem
- 8 leaves
- Kaddish DeRabbanan
- 4 leaves
Mistakes
- Opening the first leaf with a matching title.
- Saving a bookmark by title only.
- Assuming the same title means the same wording.
- Looking for a separate Kaddish leaf in the Sefard or Edot HaMizrach text.
Scope
Paths and references come from the Sefaria editions listed below. Finding a repeated passage does not make its contexts interchangeable or decide when it is said.
