[Avodah] Reciting l'Dovid Hashem Ori

[T613K at aol.com]

From: Dov Kay <dov_kay at hotmail.co.uk>
>>I stopped saying l'Dovid when I was alerted to the  Sabbatean origins of 
the custom to say it at this time of  year. <<

Just because one person finds some indications that  the custom may have been 
of Sabbatean origin doesn't mean that he's right, or  that you should stop a 
custom that by now is so widespread in Klal  Yisrael.  An individual should 
not set himself up as a higher authority or  bigger tzaddik than everybody else, 
unless he hears that some of the biggest  gedolim and poskim stopped saying 
l'Dovid Hashem Ori for that reason,  or  he really is a big posek himself,  or 
has been told to do so by his own  posek or rav.
