When the original composer didn't do so, I don't either, but not because of any inherent problem I can imagine. It's not tefillah, or even pesukim, and Shem Hashem doesn't get repeated.<br /><br />I would like to note that I am irked by "yeshiveshe" minyanim who won't sing along even with the tunes that are meant to be sung along to. I don't see the great frumkeit in davka saying the words and humming the tune.Yosef Gavriel Bechhoferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10264311760560329892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425001.post-59609230964664210732024-02-26T00:15:37.068-05:002024-02-26T00:15:37.068-05:00Yes, refreshing, isn't it?Yes, refreshing, isn't it?Yosef Gavriel Bechhoferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10264311760560329892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425001.post-46634002957481106502024-02-26T00:15:12.314-05:002024-02-26T00:15:12.314-05:00We cannot know for sure, but I think so.

It sure sounds like Rav Moshe here is focused on pouring cold water on people trying to make up their own religious expressions.<br /><br />In the latter teshuva he seems more okay with ay-ay-ay or nai-nai-nai (or "dai-dai-dai", or I'm told in Memphis, "la-la-la") than with repeating words in the middle of brachos. Would you read Rav Moshe's shita as extending this to Lecha Dodi or other non-bracha piyutim? Better to sing "Lecha Dodi nai nai nai" than to sing the entire line twice?<br /><br />Re: departed parents. I like the family's note in the intro to Igros volume 8 that RMF didn't believe in visiting graves -- "not minhag Volozhin" -- but before leaving Russia for good ... he still had to say goodbye to Dad. (Okay, dad's grave.)
