[Avodah] Ashkenazim and Sephardim

[Arie Folger]

Reb Mikha'el Makovi asked:
> why don't Ashkenazim follow the Yerushalmi?

Says who? Rabbenu Tam and Rabbenu Yits'haq Or Zaru'a both state that we do 
base ourselves on sources other than the Bavli, such as Yerushalmi, Pessiqta, 
Tosefta and more. This is cited towards the beginning of Ta Shma's Minhag 
Ashkenaz haQadmon.
