[Avodah] The GRA

[Rich, Joel]

I'm hoping someone with a good knowledge of halachik/minhagic history
can help me out.  I recall learning a long while ago (don't know where
don't know when) that the GRA's halachik positions were not accepted
except by his few "students" and that it was only later (e.g. since his
students were the ones who moved to E"Y his minhagim were established
there, so to within certain Yeshivot later on).

I was just listening to R' Reisman's Navi shiur and he used the GRA as
an example of how a generation followed its manhig.

Can anyone clarify
