YES. But a hefsek is OK to anounce a request for a Beis Din to convene.
IOW, that is the time used to plead one's case for justice in front of the
congregation. That is porbably the opening [pesach] used to permit this.
Personally, the Yekkes don't do it and I feel better about skipping them
myself.

The original piyyut alternated between Ma'aseh Elokeinu and Mas'seh Enosh
and was cut down.  Roedelheim omitted "enosh" 100% and other minhaggim kept
2 strophes before the last Ma'aseh Elokeinu   I thnk Birnbaum discusses this
a bit, maybe Artscroll,  too.

parnassah.
