Passage Content
Here are 3 instances where the communal prayer leader is silenced.
They silence one who repeats: We give thanks, we give thanks,
as it appears like he is acknowledging and praying to 2 authorities.
They also silence one who says: May Your name be
mentioned with the good, as clearly he is thanking God only
for the good and not for the bad. and we learned in a mishna:
One is required to bless God for the bad just as he blesses Him for the good.
