The Alenu
According the Sim Shalom Siddur, the Alenu speaks to G-d as the Almighty Creator and King of the Universe. Furthermore, the Alenu informs us that Hashem is the author of time; the first and last the beginning and the end. In case we don't get what this means, all present declare that we will bend the knee and bow in His presence. Not only do we bow before the Holy One but we proclaim together with the prophets and angelic beings or those dwelling in the "loftiest hights", that all living on earth will someday prostrate themselves before Him and acknowledge that He alone is G-d and King, Supreme over all. The wicked will be turned to Hashem and the false idols destroyed as all of creation is renewed for the purpose of worshiping and joyfully serving the Holy One. Then finally we are left with the mystical proclamation: " That on that day Hashem shall be one and His name one!" (ECHAD). - See Deuteronomy 4:39; Exodus 15:18; Zechariah 14:9

Correction Note: By the way, the Alenu actually reads that all the wicked of the world would be turned to Hashem, not that they will be destroyed.

Ask your Rabbi or family member about taking three steps back and bowing during the last line of this prayer. This symbolizes that you are now exiting the Holy Presence that you had entered during the service by way of Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving. You have been acting in your capacity as a priest unto Hashem among a " Priestly Nation " as scripture refers to Israel's role among the nations of the world.

Mourner's Kaddish (sanctification)
In love we remember those who no longer walk this earth. We are grateful to G-d for the gift of their lives, for the joys we shared, and for the cherished memories that never fade. May G-d grant those who mourn, the strength to see beyond their sorrow, sustaining them despite their grief. May the faith that binds us to our loved ones be a continuing source of comfort, as we invite those who mourn, and those observing Yahrzeit, to praise G-d's name with the words of the Kaddish.
As we recite the Kaddish, we pray that all people throughout the world will recognise G-d's sovereignty in our time. For only to the extent that G-d's sovereignty is felt in the world, can blessing and song, peace and harmony, hope and consolation fill our lives. Thus, in recalling our dead, of blessed memory, we confront our loss in the presence of the congregation with an affirmation of faith. Let those who are in mourning or observing Yahrzeit join in praise of G-d's name.

When in mourning or observing a Yahrzeit we recite the Mourners Kaddish standing acknowledging G-d's sovereignty in life and death. It is a spoken Hymn praising G-d beyond all the means and imaginings that man is capable of.
