[Avodah] alenu edit

[Lisa Liel via Avodah]

There is a glaring flaw in the article, which is the absence of any 
mention of the Rinat Yisrael siddur.

The first time I'd ever heard of this line was my last summer as a 
camper (16 years old) at a Conservative summer camp.  Someone had 
donated a box of Rinat Yisraels, and while there weren't enough to 
replace all of our Siddur Shilos, there were enough to replace them in 
the camp's small synagogue.  That synagogue was where my age group 
davened Shacharit.

One of the counselors talked to us the first day about the new siddurim, 
and pointed out that line in Aleinu (no parentheses, of course).  He 
left it to us to decide what we wanted to do.  I have never not said 
that line since then, and that's over 37 years ago, before Artscroll put 
out the Birkat HaChama booklet.
