This text is the Hatzi Kaddish (חצי קדיש) or Kaddish Le'ela (קדיש לעלא) – Literally "Half Kaddish", sometimes called the "Reader's Kaddish"
Kaddish (קדיש, “holy") is a hymn of praise from the Jewish prayer service. The central theme of the Kaddish is the magnification and sanctification of G-d's name. Mourners "say Kaddish" to show that despite the loss they still praise G-d.
