[Avodah] at shul this morning

[Sholom Simon]

1.  The guy who davened from the amud was wondering if this is the shortest
shacharis of the year: (a) no tachnun; (b) Friday is shortest shir ha'yom;
(c) skipping mizmor l'soda.  Thoughts?

2.  The young rav making a siyyum on Chullin mentioned 139b where the
gemara asks "Moshe, min hatorah minayin" and answers "inasmuch as he is
[mere] flesh".  He thought that that was a perfect (and timely) answer to
"Moshe, why don't we find him in the haggadah" -- i.e., inasmuch as he is a
mere person, we don't want to give credit to him so much for the geula from
Mitzrayim as the haggadah would rather focus on H's beneficence.

Nice "food" for thought this morning,

-- Sholom
