Rabbi Avraham Benhaim Halacha The Halachot of Tefillah Part 21 The Word Chazzan in All Generations

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Chacham Baruch Ben-Haim ztl’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Peace be upon you gentlemen. Today is called the 4th in the world. Maybe the fourth of July is not really for us. In any case, may God give strength to America. First of all, the mind and the knowledge to do what is good and right in the world has power. Because truly, in relation to the rest of the and right in the world has power. Because truly, in relation to the rest of the world, America is still the best for the people of Israel. Therefore, we must pray for America that it will win in everything as long as it is with us. Because who knows what will happen one day. And we will return to our laws. So far, we have talked about the cantor and discussed many details about what is appropriate and what is what is appropriate and what is not. Today, perhaps, we will finish the halakhic matter related to cantors. I will ask us one more question that may not be really relevant because the whole world knows what its answer is, but I will mention it for some special reason. The question asked today is what is the law with a cantor. A cantor, a well-organized cantor, who is clearly in the public eye and is caught in a trap. Remember, may God have mercy on him. The question is asked whether to tell him to go away, whether to transfer him or not. Although the answer to this is not necessary because the truth is that we can say, "Pok, let's go and ask what people will do." It is clear that they will not keep such a person in public places. And it is clear that his prayer was abominable only because I remember many years ago, maybe 25 years ago, something happened that happened to an acquaintance of mine
