Normally, I read the Shefa group to make sure that my blood pressure doesn't drop too far. It is good to get riled up once in a while. To my surprise, there is an excellent post (excellent because I agree with it) about the suggestions that music and other innovations are needed to liven up the service.
shefa : Message: Davening -- My Personal Journey (from Dan Kimmel)
The author, Dan Kimmel, makes a very nice statement about his own growing observance and the connection that he has been able to make to the traditional service. Like Dan, as I became more and more familiar with the traditional service, the less I wanted it to change. The liturgy has become a well-trod path with landmarks that I look forward to seeing. There is much more that I could say, but I think that Dan's post does a good job of covering the ground.
