yuda > and 2 pirkei tehillim after all tifilos

I see something similar here in US: more modern places say tehilim and explicit tefila and charedim say tehilim. Sephardim are in between – when the rav is there, it is tehilim. When the rav is not there, it is sometimes tefilos that seemingly everybody answer.

I do understand problem people have with the RZ tefilos, but I also do not think that avoiding saying what you are davening for also makes sense. It is like they are marranos, hiding their Zionism from themselves.

At some point, I explained to my kids that charedim say “EY” to avoid saying “Israel” as a medinah – even like “I took a flight to EY”. They first accused me of loshon horo, but eventually agreed and sometimes excitedly say that a certain teacher said “Israel” (when other teachers were not there).

You need to work to reconcile your heart and your mouth.
