I remember the "good old days" when Lecha Dodi was often not
sung. It was simply chanted. This was the custom in R. A. Miller's shul.
One Friday night a fellow was asked to daven Kabbolas Shabbos for the
Amud who was not aware of this custom in R. Miller's shul. He began to
sing Lecha Dodi. The gabbai came over to him and told him that in this
shul they do not sing Kabbolas Shabbos. He took off the talis he was
wearing and simply sat down! This created a bit of a stir, as you can
imagine. >:-} <br><br>
