There are those that say TODAY any Ashkenaz who says Machnisei Rachamim is a
kofer as per Rambam. Then there are those that say with the advent of the

articualted by the Rambam himself] you are an apikoros. But that of course
that would include anyone who says machniesi Rachamim!  Thus, Rav Breuer and
Rav Schwab and most yekkes [and Litvaks?] who faithfully follow Minhag
Ashkenaz are in violation of v'hu levado ra'uy ...
