[Avodah] Fables and Lies

[Rich, Joel]

To repeat his question:
> the people who are motivated to repent will basing their avodat Hashem

> based on a fable, and maybe even on a lie. Do we really want that?

My gut reaction is to scream, "No! It is too dangerous! How will they
react when the lie is discovered!" But that consideration does not seem
to have bothered those who chose to include Ayleh Ezk'rah in the
machzor.

Ayleh Ezk'rah - even R' Scroll had little choice given the mesora as to
when these individuals lived.  While our guts are in alignment, I
suspect klal yisrael has paskened differently, perhaps along the lines
of the prospective convert who wanted to be kohain gadol (listen to:
