  1. Title: Tune without words during Duchaning
    Author: False == 1 ? Anonymous : Chaim Simons &##44;

    <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">If one has had a worrying dream, there is a tefillah to recite during duchaning. (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 130:1) Since it takes time to say this tefillah, the chazzan sings a &ldquo;tune without words&rdquo; extending for about half a minute at the last word in each of the three verses of duchaning. (Mishnah Berurah 130:3) In Chutz La&rsquo;aretz where one only duchans at mussaf on Yom Tov, this singing has to be limited to the days of Yom Tov (occurring on a weekday). However, in Eretz Yisroel where there is duchaning every day of the year, surely a case could be made for this &ldquo;tune without words&rdquo; to be sung every weekday, for the sake of people who have had a worrying dream on the previous night. </span></span></span></p>

  2. Title: Leining on Ta’anis Chalom on Shabbos

    <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" lang="EN-GB">The Shiurei Knesses Hagedolah (Orach Chaim 220:5) discusses the question of when a minyan of people fast a ta&rsquo;anis chalom on Shabbos, whether the shaliach tzibur can say &ldquo;aneinu&rdquo; in the repetition of the amidah at minchah, and concludes that he had found no source to forbid it. On this basis, possibly one could also do the leining for a fast day on such a Shabbos? In such a case how would it be organised? A parallel case is a communal fast on Rosh Chodesh, when one leins the Rosh Chodesh leining at shacharis and &ldquo;vayechal&rdquo; at minchah. </span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;" lang="EN-GB">(Kaf Hachaim 418:2)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" lang="EN-GB">Likewise here, one would lein the parashas hashavua at shacharis on the Shabbos, and at minchah &ldquo;vayechal&rdquo; would override the normal Shabbos minchah leining in a similar way as when Yom Kippur falls on a Shabbos.</span></span></span></p>
