So after careful scrutiny the rabbis allowed all mourners to say qaddish simultaneously. This rabbinic solution was adopted only after careful consideration, and after it was determined that mour…
…reer from the Gan School and Rabbi Yehuda Brecher from Hebrew Academy. Thank you to all my friends who are the greatest friends a person could imagine. I would also like to thank everyone who made the trip to New Haven from far and wide to be here today. Thank you Tali for being a great sister and a best friend.
