The question most likely refers to the "KAH-dish", a short prayer recited at one or two points in each synagogue service by individuals in mourning for a parent, child, sibling or spouse. Interestingly, the Kaddish makes no mention of death whatsoever. It is entirely a soaring praise of the Master of the Universe, and a call to others to praise His name. It has been suggested that He is the one who feels most deeply the loss of one of His creations, and the Kaddish is our way of consoling the Creator on His loss.

∙ 14y agoThere is no Jewish "prayer for death".
Relatives of the deceased recite a brief prayer during the synagogue service, known as "Kaddish".
Death is never mentioned in this prayer. It is an extended praise of the Creator and the greatness
of his name. It has been suggested that none feels the loss of any person more intensely than the
Creator, and the purpose of the Kaddish is to console Him on the loss of one of his precious creations.

There are several Jewish prayers that respond to death. There is the memorial prayer, "El Malei Rachamim" (God, full of mercy) that is said in the specific form for the decased individual at funerals and said collectively for all of the deceased at Yizkor services on Yom Kippur and the pilgrimage festivals. There is also the mourner's Kaddish, said by the immediate mourners starting at the funeral and continuing for 11 months, and then at Yizkor services thereafter. Also, before a person dies, if the person is able, the person should say the "Vidui," a prayer of confession, followed by the "Shema." None of these are prayers "for death," and of these, only "El Malei Rachamim" is specifically about death.
