Question
Excerpt from My Jewish Learning: Traditionally, Jews are required to say the Kaddish for 30 days after burial for a child, spouse or sibling, and for 11 months after burial for a parent. From then on, one recites Kaddish (1) on a loved one’s yahrzeit (the Hebrew anniversary of their death) and (2) at Yizkor (memorial) services. Some people say Kaddish for the departed not only at (1) and (2) but daily at every prayer service. What is your opinion on this practice?

Question
Kabbalat Shabbat services order of the ending prayers - Amidah, Vayechulu, Magen Avot, Kiddush, Aleinu, Mourners Kaddish. In some prayer books the following verse is inserted before Vayechulu - Vayehi erev vayehi boker yom hashishi (and it was evening and it was morning, the sixth day). Why is this verse inserted in some prayer books? And why not in all prayer books? Someone told me that it may have something to do with saying the prayers in synagogue vs at home.

Question
There is gluten free bread on the market that looks and tastes just like regular bread and the bracha is shehakol. Is a person who does not require a special gluten free diet permitted to use this bread to dodge washing hands and benching when doing so is inconvenient?

Question
If I forget to say a bracha before I begin eating an item, and then suddenly remember, can I say the bracha even though I have already started eating it? I vaguely remember that I cannot say it after the fact, that I've missed the opportunity. What is correct? To say it late, or not to say it? Thanks!

Question
Amidah Facts that I know: (1) The first 3 brachot and the last 3 brachot are the same in all Amidah prayers (Shacharit, Mincha, Maariv), except bracha 7 is Sim Shalom at Shacharit and Shalom Rav at Mincha and Maariv. (2) There is no Kedusha in Maariv Amidah. (3) The middle bracha is one bracha for Shabbat and 13 brachot for weekdays. Questions: (Q1) Are Weekday Shacharit and Weekday Mincha amidahs exactly the same? (Q2) Do the words in the Kedushah change? Weekday Shacharit vs Weekday Mincha, Weekday Shacharit vs Shabbat Shacharit, Weekday Mincha vs Shabbat Mincha Thanks.
