The ...Still, Joel Rich makes an interesting point. The Aruch Hashulhan regularly takes pains to defend behaviors that he actually objects to on purely halachic grounds. It is interesting and important to see that he looks to defend and legitimate something that he would normally forbid. I don't think, though, it is just 'mimetic tradtion vs. book-based ruling'. In many cases, such as this one, the examples are relatively recent innovations. It is a worthy post in itself to consider what example of the attitude of deciding halacha is he displaying and teaching us.<br /><br />The problem of cantors was indeed considered a problem by many significant rabbanim. The Hayei Adam writes something to the effect of 'if I had the influence, I would do away with this evil custom'. Turning the prayer service into opera was not favorably received by many rabbanim in Europe. But it became widespread nonetheless. There's another post for you to consider, Rav T. - the role of music in worship, originally and throughout the exiles. The importance and styles certainly vary over time and place.Mordechai Y.

However, unlike the tuning fork which must be struck to produce a sound, the watch produces a constant sound and is therefore usable on Shabbos. They were only developed in 1960 according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuning_fork#In_watches) so I guess they didn't have that option in the Aruch HaShulchan's time.Chanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15785116781179439474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-70256134829968641342009-11-13T08:28:50.490-05:002009-11-13T08:28:50.490-05:00Joel-
