Ok, Ok, I admit it. I am a full-fledged, ko’eiyleh jew, I sing along with the chazzan’s mussaf, and enjoy breathing in the mixed smell of spring flowers, shmurah matza and Mom’s charoses. What is this tumult all about?? Ko’eiyleh is Koydesh Kodoshim!
Personally as a baal Tefilla I enjoy when the oilom joins in with the special Yom Tov niggun by Chazoras HaSha”tz and everyone gets “into it”. It’s beautiful! As far as Ko’eiyleh is concerned, Les Man D’polig, it must be said B’Kol Rom! In my shul, there’s not a soul that doesn’t sing that one out loud! It’s what makes Pesach Pesach! Forget Matza, morror, and co. If you don’t say Ko’eiyleh in my shul you would be deemed a koifur b’Ikar l’chol hadayos! And if a guy would c”v lein Ko’eila with a rev’ii or segol, (*inhales loud*) he’d be thrown out on his head, and be put in cheirum forever
