- Wedding Kaddish [mp3 - 1.6M]
You can listen to a mp3 of the Dutch wedding Kaddish; it's a variant of the Minchah Kaddish of Yom Kippur. It comes from a private gramophone recording by the late Amsterdam chief cantor Bentsion Moskovits. The bridegroom fasts on the day of his wedding, and says parts of the Yom Kippur liturgy during the Minchah service preceding his wedding. Therefore it's an old custom that the cantor sings the kaddish of the wedding Minchah service according to the tune of the Yom Kippur Minchah service.
