Its called the mouners kaddish, and though it is said by people mourning one or both of thier parents during the first year or on the aniversary of thier death, it is a common misconception that it is a prayer for the dead, if you translate the aramaic its fairly obvious that it is in effect a statement of yopur faith in the greatness of hashem and is little different than other kaddish prayers said in daily services by non-mourners, it is considered a way to honor your parents ( and elevate thier soul) to spend the first year of mourning standing among a congregation of jews (9 other men) and declaring your faith in Hashem even though you are mourning, 3 times a day everyday for the year.



The actual jewish prayer for the dead is the Yizkor prayer which is said by anyone who has lost a parent, it is said on the second day of all major holiday (yom tovim) outside of Israel and on the single day of every holiday inside of Israel.



The Kaddish is said at every prayer service every day of the week.

there is conflicting evaluations on the situation of Shabbat elevator utilization, maximum evaluations state that its utilization is accepted in basic terms particularly circumstances, using fact apparently like a loophole, and it disrespects the linked fee of Shabbat, interior a similar way using fact the halacha forbids the carrying of things in a public section on Shabbat for greater then an 8 ft stretch, however the scholars of the talmud forbid carrying some thing for 8 ft, dropping it, lifting it returned and carrying it for the subsequent 8 ft, in spite of the certainty that it may be in accordance to the halacha, yet you're disgracing the Shabbat via loophpoling around. those with the opinion that it particularly is authorized for each man or woman to apply a Shabbat elevator, have faith that god offered a series of regulations, and left some area for persons to be waiting to get excitement from Jewish life, and that's not considered a loophole, using fact interior the top of the day, no obstruction of Jewish regulation is being carried out, and there is not any could desire to function to the regulation.

It's called the (mourners') kaddish.



Here it is in Hebrew (actually Aramaic transliterated into Hebrew), phonetically, and translated into English:
