[Avodah] 'SHTILLEH NAANUIM'

[SBA]

>From MailJewish:

From: Orrin Tilevitz <>
 Is there any basis for the practice (I hesitate to call it a minhag) of
the sheliach tzibur's shaking the lulav while saying, in each case,
"hodu", the first "yomar", and the first two verses begining "Ana", to
himself, then either saying only the last word ("chasdo" or "na") aloud
or simply turning around expectantly to the congregation?  Is there any
source that explicitly decries this practice?

Our Shul has nusach Ashkenaz and nusach Sfard (Chassidish) minyonim.
In the Ashkenaz minyan, the chazan does all the nanuim with a special niggun 
etc,
followed by the tzibbur,whilst in the chassidish minyonim it is as you 
describe.
One of our choshuv talmidei chachomim raises a storm about this annually,
claiming it has no source.
