About the wording that the rabbi uses.
Hello Rabbi. What form does the rabbi use in prayer (on Friday evening)?
Uniform version? Ashkenazi?
My synagogue is uniform (they call it a soulmate with great hymns!)

Maybe the rabbi will write a column about it too, there’s too much intelligence on this site! How about talking a little about the beauty of our Judaism?!
How beautiful our Judaism is! Especially the Spanish style.
Here, I wrote.
Rabbi, do you pray according to the Sephardic version? I'm quite surprised because I know you as a Litvak in all your ways and not really a “Chassidic” and after all, the Sephardic version is a version invented by the Chassidics and there was quite a stir about it, with those who called for changing the Avot version, etc.’
From your perspective, is it not in principle to pray according to the Ashkenaz version in the sense of “and we distinguished ourselves from the astray”?
I ask not cynically but seriously……..
It's good that you added that this is a serious question, otherwise I wouldn't have believed it.
What does it matter what the prayer is? What I'm used to is my custom and this is what I do. If they say “And a porcania will grow” the world collapses?
For me, of course not, but I thought that maybe for you it could be a matter of statement. That's why I asked.
I myself pray in the Sephardic style, both as a family custom and as a community and the institutions I grew up/studied in, and also as someone who identifies with Hasidism and has a Hasidic character.
But you? I wondered about that.
