Does anyone know of shuls that still say Marovis (piyutim) on Yom Tov nights? I'm particularly interested in any place in Teaneck.

Many seem to think that it's a yekki minhag but it's pretty clear that they were said throughout Europe. (Mishna Brura takes it as a given that they are said whenever yom tov falls on a weekday when he discusses what is said on the other night if one of the nights is shabbos)

They are also printed in all standard machzorim, and would add a lot to the Yom Tov davening, yet it seems hard to find shuls that still say them.

I didn't realize there was an Orthodox Shul in Toledo. Awesome! – Seth J May 29 '12 at 19:48
@SethJ I only visited there once and they are a small but very warm community. – Double AA May 29 '12 at 19:50

Those two characteristics usually go hand-in-hand. – Seth J May 29 '12 at 19:52
Thanks for that response. It's amazing how the small community in Toledo preserves this age-old Minhag while many (perhaps most) people I've spoken to in some very large Jewish centers don't even know what Marovis is. – aaron May 29 '12 at 20:24

Fifth Ave. Synagogue says them.
