Davening from a Siddur
Reciting Hallel After Yishtabach
Reciting "Rebbe Chanania ben Akashia" After Studying Torah

Davening from a siddur
It is recommended that everyone
daven from a
siddur. A
siddur helps with proper pronunciation and aids with
kavanah. It is also advisable to follow
chazaras hashatz in the
siddur.
Davening from a
siddur is even more important for the
chazan, given his responsibility and its pressures. It is inappropriate to use a
siddur or other
sefarim that were produced in a forbidden manner (e.g. through Shabbos desecration). The writing (or printing) of a
sefer has an influence on the reader. The
shaliach tzibur is called
chazan from the Aramaic word to 'see,' since he is responsible to oversee the operations of the shul.

Reciting Hallel after Yishtabach
It is forbidden to speak between
Yishtabach and the
beracha of
Yotzer Or. Doing so allows the
klipos that were banished by
pesukei d'zimra to return and suppress the
tefillos from rising before Hashem. It is permissible to interrupt if necessary for a
mitzva or communal need. For example, it is permissible for someone
davening alone near a
minyan to recite
Hallel along with them if he will not have an opportunity to recite it with a
minyan later. This is considered a '
mitzva need,' since it is proper to recite
Hallel with a
minyan. Likewise, there is a custom based on the Arizal to recite the
kapitel
Shir Hama'alos Mima'makim during the
Aseres Yemei Teshuva.

Reciting "Rebbe Chanania ben Akashia" after studying Torah
Kaddish may be recited after completing
Shemoneh Esrei, the public readings of Tanach and the study of certain sections of the Oral Torah. Sometimes the full
kaddish is recited and other times half
kaddish; sometimes it is recited by the
chazan and sometimes by mourners.
Kaddish D'rabonon (named so because it includes a special prayer for those who study Torah) is recited after studying the Oral Torah. Some
poskim stipulate that it is recited only after studying the
aggadic sections of the Torah. For this reason, the passage of "
Amar Rebbe Elazar" is added after the recitation of
Pitom Haketores following
Shacharis and after
Bameh Madlikin during
Kabalas Shabbos. Likewise, the passage "Rebbe Chanania ben Akashia" is added after Torah discourses to permit the recitation of
kaddish.

- A person cannot be removed from his position as an officer of the community based on rumors of misconduct. He can only be removed based on the testimony of witnesses.
- If someone died after serving in a prestigious and honorable communal post, his sons are entitled to 'inherit' the position if they are capable. They have precedence even over more qualified candidates.
- Someone who sued another Jew in a court that does not abide by Torah law (without the consent of a Rov) is disqualified from serving as a chazan on the Yamim Noraim as long as he hasn't done teshuva.
