Kaddish during Torah Reading at Mincha
Question
Kaddish is always recited during the Torah reading, so why is it not recited during the Torah reading at Mincha?
Answer
After the Torah reading at Mincha, the repetition of the Shaliach Tzibur begins immediately, and since one cannot recite one Kaddish after another without a break, it is preferable to recite Kaddish before the Amud prior to the repetition of the Shaliach Tzibur rather than Kaddish on the Bimah after the Torah reading.
