Cf. "Namanides", Introd. to his "Commentary on the Pentateuch; Raziel", 24a-b: Isaiah Horowitz ("Shelah", III, 87a) writes:. According to Eleazar of Worms ("Rokea" 311), the Kaddish is recited after the reading of the "Torah" because every single word in the "Torah" conceals the Ineffable Name of God, and therefore each word merits the recital of the prayer which sanctifies that Name.
