Possible definitions for qaddish
Kaddish
Jewish prayer of mourners, recited for a period of 11 months and one day after the death of a parent or close relative. Spoken in the Aramaic language rather than in Hebrew, it is a hymn of praise to God and a prayer for the speedy coming of the messiah. Originally recited in the rabbinical academies, it later became a regular feature of the synagogue service. The association of the arrival of the messiah and the resurrection of the dead led to its becoming the prayer of mourners.
radish
Annual or biennial plant (Raphanus sativus) of the mustard family, probably of Oriental origin, grown for its large, succulent root. Low in calories and high in bulk, radishes have a sharp taste and are usually eaten raw. The shape of the edible portion of the root varies greatly, as does the color (from white through pink to red, purple, and black). Radishes may weigh only a few ounces (U.S. and European varieties) or, in the case of the Japanese daikon, more than 2 lbs (1 kg).
