In the newspaper Do’ar Hayom, Itamar Ben-Av”i published an open letter to the rabbis of Israel, stating that the young generation who thirst for spiritual renewal, find the prayers too lengthy and suggested that a renewed Sanhedrin address this issue. Here are presented several responses to Ben-Av”i’s letter, including: Rabbis Chaim Nahum, Chief Rabbi of Egypt; R. Benzion Uziel, Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Tel-Aviv; R. Jehiel Michel Tocaczynski, Director Etz Chaim Yeshivah, Jerusalem; R. Abraham Isaac Hakohen Kook, Chief Aschkenazic Rabbi of Eretz Israel, etc
