    1. Title: The Judge who recited Psalm 27
      Author: Chaim Simons

      In a certain shul in an Anglo-Saxon county there was an argument between the chazan and the gabbai as to what date one finishes saying “L’Dovid Hashem Ori” (Psalm 27) and because of this the chazan was dismissed from his post. The chazan took the matter to  court and when the non-Jewish judge heard  that the dispute was about the recital of Psalm 27, the judge began to recite this Psalm by heart (in English) and commented that it is such a beautiful Psalm and thus it ought to be recited every day of the year!
