Re: The sacred name (was: ach y fi etc)

Benct Philip Jonsson eskriviw:

<<Surely those standing on the other side of the Curtain
could hear him on that one day?>>

My impression from contemporary Yom Kippur liturgy passage telling
about Y.K. service in the times of the Second Temple is that indeed
the people could hear the High Priest, as the passage says: "And
when the assembly heard him pronouncing the Holy Name, they
prostrated on the groud reciting 'May the name of his glorious
kingdom be blessed for ever and ever'". I can look for a precise
reference and/or quotation from Y.K. mahhzor (prayerbook) at home if
necessary.
