[Avodah] kol nidre

[Joel Rich]

A recent article in Hakirah discussed  Kol Nidre and the initial
overwhelming rabbibic opposition to it being said. While no one knows for
sure, I remember learning that it was almost demanded by amcha because of
their having made coerced commitments to other religions which they wanted
to disavow. Anyone have a source of any kind?

I wonder how many practices that seem at odds with what the pure would
demand are due to amcha insisting on them. A delicate dance between the
people and the gedolim?
