[HANASHIR:2546] Re: Adonai S'fatai

[jkorn <jkorn...>]

In my experience of Orthodox Shuls, it is normally done quietly. The only
exception being over the High Holy Days, where there is a prayer (I can't
remember the beginning, and I have nothing to reference at work), that has
this verse as the last line. Traditional England United Synagogue Nussach
does this whole prayer out loud.

Sorry, not too much help.

Subject:  [HANASHIR:2544] Adonai S'fatai




I have a question.
Last summer when I was at the Para-rabbinic program at HUC one of my
classmates taught us Craig Taubmans Adonai S'fatai (na na na na na na
adonai) I showed it to our Rabbi this week. I would like to teach it. I was
told it was inappropriate, that this prayer was to be said silently.  All
our past rabbis (we have a different one each year since we get students
from HUC) either have read the prayer out loud or sung it to some melody.
If anyone can tell me more and if some traditions allow it and others
don't. Just curious.
thanks,
Carol
