Yekke – thanks so much for your vort – I was thinking about it today while davening mincha shemona esrei and during Yom Kippur Kattan as well – “Yodeiah ani b’atzmi sheain bi lo sorah i’lo chachma lo daas v’lo svuna..” And it gave me more kavana.
Everyone else – no time to comment now (but will try to do so when I have time), but I think Yekke’s going back to Yeshiva soon, so I wanted to mention that.
