After the bracha the ba'al koreh sat down on the side of the bimah and read Eichah. <br />I'm not sure why they did it that way or if there is a makor, but ma'aseh rav (esp. in a yeshiva olam) is better than my sevaros.chaimb.http://divreichaim.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-47892076995019409002009-07-29T09:52:52.016-04:002009-07-29T09:52:52.016-04:00Forget my sevara -- it's mefurash in Masechet ...Forget my sevara -- it's mefurash in Masechet Sofrim (ch. 18): *omeid* v'rosho mefulash b'afar u'begadav mefulashin v'korei b'bechiya v'yelala.<br /><br />Interestingly, the Shu"T Rama #35 (which I found through R' Zevin's Moadim b'Halacha) singles out Eichah as deserving of a bracha because "sham ha'chazan korei l'hashmiya hatzibur v'havei k'mo kerias megilah" and the reading of Eicha is hinted at in the end of Mes. Ta'anis as opposed to the other megilot which have no Talmudic source for their being read.Chaim B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-75446358004204004612009-07-29T09:38:40.683-04:002009-07-29T09:38:40.683-04:00The very fact that you are using a kelaf and recit...The very fact that you are using a kelaf and reciting a bracha of mikra megilah would seem to indicate that there is a formal kiyum of keri'ah, no?Chaim B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-82274449059818500892009-07-28T21:46:58.436-04:002009-07-28T21:46:58.436-04:00Interesting food for thought - a hakira that came ...Interesting food for thought - a hakira that came up in discussion today upon which I was hoping to solicit your opinion:<br /><br />If someone reads Eikha b'tsibbur from a qelaf, and recited the berakha in accordance with the custom of the Vilna Gaon, should he stand or sit during the reading?<br /><br />It seemed to me that the question is whether we look at the performance itself, which is an act of qeriyat ketuvim and should ostensibly be done standing mipnei kevod hatsibur, or do we consider the qiyum of the performance, which is qinah and thus should be done sitting on the ground?Rabbi Joshua Maroofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12585369620887846940noreply@blogger.com
