Would you say Kaddish in a situation like this?

Hey!

I would love to know your thoughts on this matter and have a healthy discussion.

Would you do it or not? Or have you already done it before?

Here is the situation:

 

[thewrongjew]

The question is the the dead person asked to say Kaddish specifically.

What would I do? In this case I would give to charity, plant a tree, and look up the birthday of the deceased, and learn that corresponding parsha.

I would not say Kaddish in vain.

Although not religious myself, I grew up in a Jewish community and know how important Kaddish is regarded.
I think the nuns act was very kind.
I'm unsure whether it is halachic.

ETA welcome to RF.

yes, I apologize, I miss-clicked on my previous reply.

I can't watch the video but a nun saying kaddish? Odd.

If i understand the premise, a deceased Jewish person asks their family member to say Kaddish for them. After the deceased passes, would you say Kaddish even if it is not Kosher? The question is, does a person honor the wishes of the deceased or honor Halacha?

@thewrongjew , did I explain this correctly?

It would be a tough call for me. I would probably argue with the deceased before he or she died. I would probably say it seeing as I'm not Jewish but were I Jewish I'd be very hesitent.

Yes. Not only that, he is only 1 man and not very religious.

So, is the question, what would I , in theory, do if I was a Jewish person who is not familiar with the rules and the ritual?

I was wondering if that was before or after the bar mitzvah?

That's another question in the video.

Once a person is dead they stay dead, imo, so the only concern should be for the living.

If you have any specific questions about Kaddish ( rules, ritual, etc... ) I encourage you to ask them directly. Otherwise, I am not sure that the Jewish people who practice the religion and have insider knowledge will contribute.
