Not the same, but closely related. Kaddish is by definition Kiddush HaShem. It is so interesting to me that you brought this up, as I had considered developing the article in that direction. There is much food for thought there. Run with it!
Thanks, Ehud. Of course they are not the same. I was only equating them in the sense that there is no real reason for the one to be any better known than the other, notwithstanding that that is in fact the case.
But aren't Kaddish and Kiddush the same thing, in essence?
Kiddush celebrates God as the Living God and the God of the living.
And Kaddish too celebrates God as the Living God and the God of the living. (Latter-day usages and emphases notwithstanding.)
Hmmm... Silly me. The two are actually quite different. Kiddush is recited in Hebrew, but Kaddish in Aramaic.
Worlds apart!
