[HANASHIR:11742] Re: afternoon Kedushah melody

[DMG686 <DMG686...>]

Warren is correct.  The nusach for the Shabbat afternoon Minchah service is 
the weekday nusach.  You can find a great, simple example of this very easy 
nusach chant in the Pinchas Spiro Shabbat Afternoon Minchah Chazzanut book 
available through the Cantor's Assembly.  It gives you the proper nusach for 
the whole service.  I use it when we have a Shabbat Afternoon Minchah B'nei 
Mitzvah Havdalah service.  Please note that the text is correct in the Blue 
Reform Gates of Prayer page 564.  However, in the new, smaller grey "gender 
sensitive" Gates of Prayer that our congregation has adopted, the Shabbat 
Minchah service uses the Shabbat Morning Kedushah text, which is incorrect.  
Why they did this, I do not know.  Good luck and let us know what you have 
found and how you solved this problem.
