>>Over the years, many posts in many threads have bemoaned the  loss of 
various minhagim, and changes to them, and have hailed the KAJ  
community as a stalwart of retaining old-time Ashkenaz..... 

I was  thus very surprised to read in R' Yitzchok Levine's post, of 
Rav Schwab  adding hakafos to Maariv of Simchas Torah in not one, but 
two such shuls.  I'm curious what his reasons were, and what the 
shuls' reactions  were.<<

I suspect his reason was that the minhag /not/ to have hakafos on ST was  not 
a /genuine/ minhag but a Reform-influenced practice.
 
And the way Yekkes "dance" there is not all that big a change from not  
having hakafos to having hakafos. At least that's how it was in the  Yekke shul in 
Joburg when I was there.  (I say this with all due  respect and affection for 
a community my father much  admired.)
