Let’s Have Only One Person Saying Kaddish at a Time

I strongly urge the Beth Din to consider returning to the original custom of only one person saying one kaddish per service

If piyyutim can be omitted on the yamim noraim (which is a custom), then my suggestion must also be discussed seriously

The common practice of multiple people saying kaddish together is halachically unsound as you are well aware

GGBH does this

In Israel, the western Ashkenazim (yekkes) do this

So do the Zilbermans

The original custom is making a comeback in many other shuls around the world

Also, in all Yemenite communities, only one person recites kaddish

In these congregations, no bickering takes place because they never saw a reason to go along with this innovation

There is no reason why the United Synagogue can’t reinstate a practice that was followed up until WW1 (as seen in the earliest editions of the “singers” siddur)

Or better yet, you could tell your followers to make aliyah and set an example by doing so yourself
