# There is a well known minhag that the [[Shaliach Tzibur]] for Shacharit, standing at his seat, begins his tefillah by singing out the ה in the word HaMelech in a melody. Once he completes the word, he approaches the amud and continues the rest of the sentence. <ref>Aruch HaShulchan, Orach Chaim 584:1, Shu"t Menachem Meishiv Siman 91 on reciting the word HaMelech before approaching the amud. | #There is a well known minhag that the [[Shaliach Tzibur]] for Shacharit, standing at his seat, begins his tefillah by singing out the ה in the word HaMelech in a melody.

The sefer Minhag Yisrael Torah explains the minhag to sing the ה in a melody comes from the Gemara in Mesechet Menachot (daf 29) that Olam HaZeh (this world) was created with the letter ה as it is a letter with a large gap on the bottom and a smaller gap towards the top. Those who wish to descend down a wayward path can do so with ease, while those who wish to repent and elevate themselves will be exalted amongst their peers. Similarly, the Shaliach Tzibur should request in his tefillot that Hashem should create an opening to receive our Teshuva.</ref> | The sefer Minhag Yisrael Torah explains the minhag to sing the ה in a melody comes from the Gemara in Mesechet Menachot (daf 29) that Olam HaZeh (this world) was created with the letter ה as it is a letter with a large gap on the bottom and a smaller gap towards the top.
