Question
Hello, Is it permissible for a person to sing a song like "Ochila La-El" during the year, even though the song itself is part of the Rosh Hashanah prayers?
Answer
Hello
There is no problem singing a section from any prayer, provided that the names of the Holy One are not mentioned.
Since it is customary [mainly in Ashkenazi communities] not to say prayers and requests with the name of God unless they are in the order of the prayer.
