@Menachem That's weird. When I first couldn't access your link, I googled for the Encyclopaedia, and came across that link, which just led back to the password prompt. But now, it works. Huh.
The leader of the Tefillah is referred to as a חַזַּן. The word חַזַּן, although translated as a cantor, actually comes from the word חֲזוֹן which means vision. Is there a source for this?
Can anyone tell me how to link to Mishna Berura? ....I've seen some people do it, but it would be useful to a recent answer of mine (to the ex-Meta question right above my post ;)
I'll take a fish if you'll give me one, but I'd rather know how to fish :P
