reb doniel: I’m sorry to be writing so much but there were so many points you made that were groundless and had to be addressed.
As such I forgot perhaps the most important. You were saying we should follow the Mechaber in Shulchan Aruch who wrote that piyutim are hefsek. Since when do Ashkenazim follow the mechaber over the Rema? The Rema is very clear that piyutim are recited in the davening by Ashkenazim and Mishna Brura elaborates by giving a story of a rabbi who stopped his community from saying yotzros and then died that year.
If you prefer Sephardi pask as per the Mechaber, maybe you should find yourself a sephardi shul, and wake up early in Elul to say slichos every morning.
