Today’s Musaf Kedusha will reflect the fact that Shabbat HaGadol is the beginning of the week that Pesach makes its grand entrance into our Community.
I have chosen to use a melody this Shabbat that I will sing throughout Pesach for the Mimkomo and Hu Elokenu of Musaf Kedusha, in order to ease us into the mood of Pesach that is imminent. This melody is Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach’s Adir Hu, which was composed for this piyyut in the Haggadah. It is a contemporary-style melody which complements the “old” Adir Hu that we have all sung since childhood. Shlomo’s version is a rousing, exciting melody, and a good way to begin this festive week.
DAVEN WELL, DON’T TALK, BUT SING ALONG!
