[Judah Cohen <jcohen...>]

I don't have "Gates of Prayer" with me right now, but I seem to recall that
"M'chaye HaMetim" exists in one of the less commonly used services (as soon
as I have the opportunity, I'll check).  I could be having delusions from my
Conservative upbringing. . . :)

My *actual experience* with Reform prayer services, however, goes right
along with Andy: without exception, I've always heard "HaKol."
