Kaddish
Moroccan Nusach for Kabbalat Shabbat
Sung by Laura Elkeslassy
יִתְגַּדַּל וְיִתְקַדַּשׁ שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּא. [אָמֵן]
בְּעָלְמָא דִּי בְרָא, כִּרְעוּתֵה, וְיַמְלִיךְ מַלְכוּתֵה, וְיַצְמַח פֻּרְקָנֵה, וִיקָרֵב מְשִׁיחֵהּ. [אָמֵן]
בְּחַיֵּיכוֹן וּבְיוֹמֵיכוֹן וּבְחַיֵּי דְכָל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל, בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַן קָרִיב, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן. [אָמֵן]
.יְהֵא שְׁמֵיהּ רַבָּא מְבָרַךְ לְעָלַם וּלְעָלְמֵי עָלְמַיָּא
יִתְבָּרַךְ וְיִשְׁתַּבַּח. וְיִתְפָּאַר. וְיִתְרוֹמַם. וְיִתְנַשֵּׂא. וְיִתְהַדָּר. וְיִתְעַלֶּה. וְיִתְהַלָּל שְׁמֵהּ דְּקֻדְשָׁא, בְּרִיךְ הוּא. [אָמֵן] לְעֵלָּא מִן כָּל בִּרְכָתָא שִׁירָתָא, תֻּשְׁבְּחָתָא וְנֶחֱמָתָא, דַּאֲמִירָן בְּעָלְמָא, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן. [אָמֵן]

Translation: Exalted and hallowed is Their great name (Amén) in the world which is made according to Their will, and may They establish Their kingdom, and may Their salvation blossom and Their anointed come soon. (Amén) In our lives and our days and the life of all the House of Yisraél, speedily and very soon, and we say: amén. Amén, may Their great name be blessed forever and ever, and to all eternity blessed May Their great name be blessed forever and ever, and to all eternity blessed,
praised, glorified, and exalted; extolled and honoured, adored and lauded be the name of the Blessed Holy One. (Amén) Above and beyond all the blessings, songs, praises and consolations which are uttered in the world, and we say: amén. (Amén)
