<P> RRWolpoe wrote a list of questions about the relation of shatz and tzibbur, including</P>
<P>> Is a Shatz required to daven the minhag of the shul during his PIRVATE AMIDAH or his minhag Avos?</P>
<P>RMF requires the former. Many poskim disagree.</P>
<P>I have a related question</P>
<P>Is the shatz, in his silent SE, allowed to insert private petitions such as in refainu ? For those who hold like RMF, that the shatz's silent SE is essentially a preparation for his repetition for the tzibbur, such additions would seem to be improper, since obviously they are not repeated aloud. I am inclined to believe that the poskim who disagree with RMF on nusach would allow private petitions in the silent SE. Does anyone have sources on this matter?</P>
