The kaddish are not a who. The Kaddish is a family of related prayers in the Jewish liturgy. Technically, these are doxologies, that is, short prayers of praise that are used to punctuate longer services, dividing or marking the ends of sections of a service. There is the long Kaddish, the short Kaddish, the Kaddish after study, and the mourner's Kaddish. The latter is a relatively short Kaddish reserved to be said by mourners (if any are present).
