[Avodah] Nesane Tokef

[Eli Turkel]

In spite of the popular legend azttributing UNesane Tokef to Rav Amnon who
was a gadol hador (though unknown outside of the legend) we know today from
the Cairo Genizah that in fact it is much older going back to Yannai.

I saw an interesting comment from from R. Brander. He says that the Or
Zarua uses the language
"Yesed Unesane Tokef". Thus his interpretaion is that it was established in
Ashkenaz by a Rav Amnon. However, indeed it was written many centuries
earlier.
