<<Between you and me, I never understood why any shul would not sing part or
all of K. Shabbat. For the committed few, the stoic davvening works, but
consider this email I received 2 weeks ago:>>

It is a matter of personal preference. I remember reading that a grandson
(when he was little) complained that RYBS never sang zemirot while his other
grandfather, the Talner rebbe did. It seems in Brisk zemirot were recited and
not sung.

My entire family enjoys the various songs for piyutim for yamim noraim.
One year we davened at a real yeshivish type minyan with kavannah and no
songs and my family was disappointed.
