Shaliach Tzibur: Difference between revisions

# The Shaliach Tzibbur may use secular tunes for Kaddish and Kedushah, though it is preferable to use tunes that the words to which have already been forgotten.<ref>Yechaveh Daat 2:5 explains that the main issue with secular music is the words, so it's best not to pick a secular tune that will remind the Tzibbur of the words to the song. Rather, one should use a tune that nobody remembers the words to, since by doing so one brings the tune into the domain of kedusha.</ref>

# One shouldn't elongate words or stop in the middle of a word in order to hit every note, as it causes the words to lose their meaning and people will end up answering [[Amen Chatufah]]. Similarly, he may sing Hashem's name, as long as it's Mil'ra and not Mil'eil.<ref>Yechaveh Daat ibid.</ref>

# The Shaliach Tzibbur should pray with much joy and fear for the privilege to thank Hashem as Shaliach Tzibbur.<ref> Yechaveh Daat 2:5</ref>

# One may not repeat words, as it's a hefsek.<ref> Yechaveh Daat 2:5</ref>
