For everyone who never knew about the referenced yemenite practice, and everyone else too, I highly recommend watching this recording of it youtu.be/K376d3zTt7I it's not short but to once in your life experience this ancient practice it's well worth it. — Double AA ♦ 21 hours ago

^ What do they reply to the leader's "בצאת ישראל ממצרים" (at about 2:20)? I can't make it out.

. . . based on the fact that (so far) two other psalms' respective first phrases are repeated entire by the congregation, I guess that that's what I'm hearing for "בצאת ישראל ממצרים" too.

Oh, that finally broke publicly.

I spent several days digging up as much as I could a few weeks ago, to help compile evidence, including looking at the MY account. He hasn't shown up here since 2013, though, so I don't think there's much to be worried about.
