[Avodah] Minhagim of the Ashkenaz Synagogue ("The Luach") (5774)

[Saul Guberman]

Ezras Torah claims neither to be old or authentic.  They claim to follow
the piskei halacha of Rav Henkin.  He was "the posek" of the USA for some
time. To follow something else may be minhag avot, if all/majority of the
congregants are from the same region.  The Ezras Torah luach is as close as
it gets to minhag hamakom of Ashkenazim for the USA.  As the overwhelming
majority of shuls in the USA do not have congregants from the same region,
Ezras Torah would seem to be the guide to follow.

If you compare the two,  you will find many differences.  Rabbi Hamburger's
Luach is based on the old ("authentic")  minhag Ashkenaz.
