Chapter 26: 10-12
The Mourners Kaddish
10. When there is a resident commemorating a yahrzeit and a guest observing
the thirty days of mourning, the resident should recite the first two
Kaddishim and the guest, the third.
11. A guest within the year of mourning is entitled to one Kaddish when
there are other residents also within the year of mourning.
12. In this context, a resident is defined as a person who has a permanent
dwelling in the city even though he does not pay taxes, or someone who pays
taxes even though he does not live in the city.
A person who comes to a city to say Kaddish for his father or mother who
lived there is not considered to be a resident of this city even though his
parents were, because he neither lives there or pays taxes.
Teachers or attendants serving an employer are considered residents [of the
latter's city] if they are unmarried. However, if they are married and
their wives live elsewhere, they are considered to be guests. Students in a
yeshiva or teachers employed by several people are considered to be
resident even though they have wives living elsewhere.
An orphan who has neither a father or mother and is being raised in another
person's house is considered to be a resident. This applies even if the
latter is paid for raising him. However, if either his father or mother are
alive and live elsewhere, the orphan is considered to be a guest even if
his host is raising him as an act of charity.
