Seasonal Prayers

Due to COVID-19 (or "Corona," as it's called in this neck of the woods), schools closed just before Rosh HaShana and will remain closed until after Sukkot.

On the first day of this round of school closure, FF's teacher sent a video of what she davens with the kids in school. As we learned during last closure, FF likes davening with a video of his teacher: she sent a video a few days into the Pesach school closures that FF has used ever since, so having an updated version is nice.

However, after he davened with his teacher's video yesterday, he said, "And now we say the special one." I have both some experience understanding preschoolers and a good Jewish day-school education, so I guessed that he wanted to sing, "Avinu Malkeinu." I know this was a good guess, because BSM sang along with me. Or at least, he sang the first few words until FF stopped us because that wasn't the right tefillah. I was stumped, but BSM guessed twice more, and he hit gold on his second guess. 

It turns out that FF wanted to sing the Sefardi piyut, "Adon HaSlichot," and BSM led him through 6 lines before getting stuck. I found the audio in the attached link so they could do the whole thing, and I gotta say that BSM really rocks that Sefardi ḥet.
