My father has been ba'al koreh on the high holidays at the shul I grew up in since he was 15, though he's only read the Akedah for many years now and however in recent years, the rabbi only lets him read every other year so that other members can have a chance. My grandfather was ba'al tekiah for about 50 years. I have yet to lead davening at that shul on the high holidays but I am proud to continue the family tradition as it were of being involved in a community on the chagim in a major way.I'm not sure what combination of piyutim we're doing at Musaf, and the last time I did YK Musaf was back in 2008 and using the Harlow machzor which doesn't even have all the piyutim that most other machzorim have, but I think the hazzanut at the beginning of Shacharit is harder on the voice, and the fact that the davening isn't all one chunk makes it a bit harder. Finally, this minyan sings a lot, so whereas I might do straight nusach in another community, I'm doing more melodies and niggunim here. Anyway, I am looking forward to the opportunity to create as uplifting a davening experience as I can. B'hatzlacha on leyning and gmar tov! |
