Michael and I are both highly influence by the KAJ kehillah which really
has suffered little rupture in its legacy and mesorah from Hirsch's day.

I imagine that certain Hassidic groups have very vibrant mesoros that
are clung to tightly. Maybe talmidei haGRA have same in EY where the
holocost was not a big factor.

One KAJ memeber (who is almost like an uncle to me) has been very
persistent about the role of Mesorah in our system of Both belief
and action.

In Yekkishe kehillos the Maharil, Rema, etc. are as alive as Mishna
Brura is in the Yeshivisher velt.
