Rav Shach zt”l said, he heard this story from the Strikover
Rebbe zt”l :
A Stoliner Chosid came to the Tchortkover Rebbe zt”l and
asked him permission to daven loud (Minhag Stolin).
The Rebbe said to him, the Minhag in Tchortkov is not to daven
aloud.
He quoted to him Maamorei Chazal that are against loud Davening, and forbade him to be Meshane the Minhag Hamkom.
The Stoliner Chosid came to Shul . He managed to hold
himself back and davened the whole Pesukei Dezmria quietly.
By the
time he reached Nishmas, he couldn’t hold himself back and started screaming
on top of his lungs “Nishmas Kol Chai !!!!“.
After the Davening, the Chosid went over to the Rebbe and wanted
to apologize. Before he got a chance to open his mouth the Rebbe told him how beautiful his Nishmas was, how he enjoyed
the loud Davening.
The Chosid was flabbergasted, didn’t the
Rebbe say that it is wrong to daven aloud in his Shul.
The Rebbe explained to him, ” If you come and ask on
Wednesday to change on Shabbos the Minhag Hamokom , then the
answer is, it is wrong to do so.
However if during davening you can’t control yourself , you
get so excited with your davening ,then those
are the most inspiring and beautiful Tefilos
