Re: Hash-m's name in Zemiros
Stuart P. asked:
Dear Rabbi Kornfeld,
Regarding some of the Zemiros, one has the problem with the refrain after
each paragraph, as it contains the name of H. Obviously, one can omit
the refrain, or not pronounce H properly. The question is: Does one
consider it an offence to pronounce H correctly in the refrain. Do any
authorities comment on this problem?
Awaiting your reply,
Stuart
----------------------------------------------
The Kollel replies:
The Halachic rationale for mentioning Shemos Kedoshim in Zemiros is that
when one is expressing praise of Hashem, one may use the name of Hashem.
Accordingly, this also relates to the refrain of the Zemer. We find the
repeated use of Hashem's name in other Piyutim (such as the Birkas ha'Mazon
said at a Bris Milah, and the Piyut of Hashem Melech on Yomim Nora'im, and
in some of the Selichos). Thus, one may pronounce Hashem's name in the
refrains of the Zemiros.
