I was watching the pilot of Andromeda with chaiya yesterday.

In one scene, Rev Bem starts praying.

He's saying Kaddish (a prayer traditionally said as a divider during certain parts of prayer, and also said by mourners for the year following the death of a parent, or month after the death of a sibling or child.)

Clever.

I know this, and you know this- but well, as far as most of my Hebrew school students were concerned, and these were kids who were at least Going to Hebrew school, kaddish was mourner's kaddish unless told otherwise. And that's the one prayer that going to get recognized right off the bat that isn't a food-related shtick (motzi, kiddush). And well, almost no one in the secular world understands Aramaic enough to know what's being talked about in the slightest.
