[Avodah] Musaf Amidah on Shabbath

[D&E-H Bannett]

Re: <<I asked one Moroccan rav who said he knew of such a 
practise among "old" Moroccan minyanim, but not in his 
experience.  I'm not quite sure what he meant by "old.">>


As ROY came out against not repeating Musaf twice the 
pracice has been dying out in Israel.  This might be the 
answer to what was meant by "old".

It was already pointed out that, in addition to Teimanim, 
"Western" Sefaradim also have or had a shortened Musaf.  I 
have heard the shortened Musaf also in Halabi (Aleppo, 
Syria) minyanim who might or might not be considered 
Western.  What I have encountered is not that the hazzan 
waits after kedusha and continues aloud only after the kahal 
is finished, but that he says the entire amida without a 
break and the kahal says it silently along with him.
>From the few times I have davened weekday mincha with them, 
I believe that the Dardai Teimanim, close followers of the 
Rambam, have the shortened amida custom not only for musaf 
but for all amidot.
