Nachem
Question
What is reason why we don't update the Nachem prayer? After all, Jerusalem is not empty and desolate, unless the prayer also refers to spiritual desolatoin (but this is not true either)?
Answer
Answered by Aaron AbadiI was thinking of updating the Selach Lanu prayer of asking for forgiveness. After all, we don't really give a hoot! Besides, we first say Laminim VeLamalshinim to clarify in advance why it really is desolate.... AA
