On the Proper Use of Niggunim for the Tefillot of the Yamim Noraim
On the Proper Use of Niggunim for the Tefillot of the Yamim Noraim Cantor Sherwood Goffin Faculty, Belz School of Jewish Music, RIETS, Yeshiva University Cantor, Lincoln Square Synagogue, New York City Song has been the paradigm of Jewish Prayer from time immemorial. The Talmud Brochos 26a, states that “Tefillot kneged tmidim tiknum”, that “prayer was established in place of the sacrifices”. The Mishnah Tamid 7:3 relates that most of the sacrifices, with few exceptions, were accompanied by the music and song of the Leviim.11 It is therefore clear that our custom for the past two millennia was that just as the korbanot of Temple times were conducted with song, tefillah was also conducted with song. This is true in our own day as well. Today this song is expressed with the musical nusach only or, as is the prevalent custom, nusach interspersed with inspiring communally-sung niggunim. It once was true that if you wanted to daven in a shul that sang together, you had to go to your local Young Israel, the movement that first instituted congregational melodies c. 1910-15. Most of the Orthodox congregations of those days – until the late 1960s and mid-70s - eschewed the concept of congregational melodies. In the contemporary synagogue of today, however, the experience of the entire congregation singing an inspiring melody together is standard and expected. Are there guidelines for the proper choice and use of “known” niggunim at various places in the tefillot of the Yamim Noraim? Many are aware that there are specific tefillot that must be sung "...b'niggunim hanehugim......b'niggun yodua um'sukon um'kubal b'chol t'futzos ho'oretz...mimei kedem." – "...with the traditional melodies...the melody that is known, correct and accepted 11 In Arachin 11a there is a dispute as to whether song is m’akeiv a korban, and includes 10 biblical sources for song that is required to accompany the korbanos.

Chanting Psalm 118:1-4 in Hallel Aaron Alexander, Elliot N
Chanting Psalm 118:1-4 in Hallel Aaron Alexander, Elliot N. Dorff, Reuven Hammer May, 2015 This teshuvah was approved on May 12, 2015 by a vote of twelve in favor, five against, and one abstention (12-5-1). Voting in Favor: Rabbis Aaron Alexander, Pamela Barmash, Elliot Dorff, Susan Grossman, Reuven Hammer, Joshua Heller, Jeremy Kalmanofsky, Gail Labovitz, Amy Levin, Micah Peltz, Elie Spitz, Jay Stein. Voting Against: Rabbis Baruch Frydman-Kohl, David Hoffman, Adam Kligfeld, Paul Plotkin, Avram Reisner. Abstaining: Rabbi Daniel Nevins. Question: In chanting Psalm 118:1-4 in Hallel, should the congregation be instructed to repeat each line after the leader, or should the congregation be taught to repeat the first line after each of the first four? Answer: As we shall demonstrate below, Jewish tradition allows both practices and provides legal reasoning for both, ultimately leaving it to local custom to determine which to use. As indicated by the prayer books published by the Conservative Movement, however, the Conservative practice has been to follow the former custom, according to which the members of the congregation repeat each of the first four lines of Psalm 118 antiphonally after the leader, and our prayer books should continue to do so by printing the psalm as it is in the Psalter without any intervening lines. However, because the other custom exists and is acceptable, it should be mentioned as a possible way of chanting these verses of Hallel in the instructions. A. The Authority of Custom on this Matter What is clear from the earliest Rabbinic sources is that local customs varied as to how to recite Hallel, and each community was authorized to follow its own custom.

Addenda to Psalm 145
ADDENDA TO PSALM 145 RAYMOND APPLE Psalm 145, colloquially known as Ashrei, is one of the best known biblical passages in the Jewish liturgy. It occurs three times in the daily prayers, more often than any other psalm. It appears first in the early morning pesukei d’zimra (Passages of Praise); next in the final section of the morning service; and also at the beginning of the afternoon service. This threefold usage fulfils the principle found in TB Berakhot 4b that whoever recites this psalm three times a day is assured of a place in the afterlife. The triple recitation exempli- fies a tendency in Jewish liturgy whereby important phrases and quotations are said more than once, with a preference for three times. TB Berakhot 4b notes that Psalm 145 has two special features to commend it. The first is that, being constructed as an alphabetical acrostic (with the exception of the letter nun),1 it enlists the whole of the aleph-bet to extol the deeds of the Almighty. It should be added, however, that there are several other psalms with alphabetical acrostics. The second is that it articulates the tenet of God’s generosity and providence: You give it openhandedly, feeding every creature to its heart’s content (verse 16; cf. Ps. 104:28, JPSA transla- tion). The Talmud does not call the psalm by its current title of Ashrei, but by its opening words, Tehillah l’David, A song of praise; of (or by, or in the style of) David, arising out of which the name Tehillim (Praises) is applied to the whole psalter.

SUPPLEMENT for KOL NIDREI and YOM KIPPUR DAY 5781
supplement for KOL NIDREI & YOM KIPPUR DAY 5781 ● Sep 27-28, 2020 (p 1) before candle lighting: donning the tallit Our fringed prayer shawl is worn exclusively for morning prayer except for this one night of the year, when our clothes – all white, if possible, except for the tallit’s stripes – are meant to remind us of the simple white shroud and tallit in which Jews are customarily buried. The tallit is also a way to wrap ourselves for this day’s arduous journey. Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha’olam, asher kid’shanu b’mitz’votav, v’tzivanu l’hitatef ba’tzitzit. after p 4: On This Night of Atonement God of forgiveness, on this night of atonement we come before You, haunted by memories of duties unperformed, of promptings disobeyed, of beckoning ignored. We confess that there were opportunities for kindness and service that we allowed to pass by us in the year just ended. We are ashamed of sins committed with evil intent, as well as of follies committed unwittingly or even with good intentions. Male us honest enough to recognize our transgressions, big enough to admit them, strong enough to forsake them. Humble us by showing us what we are; exalt us with a vision of what we may yet grow to be. Keep us mindful of our dependence on You, and help us understand Your need of us. United with you in a holy partnership, may we dedicate our lives to Your law of love. Kindle within us the ﬁres of faith, and set aglow our courage to live the words we pray.
