[Avodah] Shmoneh esrei - 18/19

"
I think you are being a bit harsh on Reb Art"

I think reb art in general does a good job

If you look on their commentaries on akdamus (the book) and on yatziv pisgam they explain how those poems follow (or used to follow) the bracha

And that is because they are not a hefseik in the qriah but a haqdama to the targum

The implications?
The taz's kasha against aqdamus following bracha falls away as a mis-understanding

The use of aramaic is NOT qabbalistic but just matches the taegum to follow

Yehonasan gvar invessan is NOT a back refernce to Moshe rabbeinu but a forward reference .to the upcoming targum yonassan.

Really the reader should NOT recite these rather the meturgaman should!

I don't know if reb art got all points but if you understand the dynamics and know that despite the taZ heidenheim kept aqdamus after first passuk "bachodesh hashlishi" then the pieces all fall into place.
