[Cantor Wolberg]

> Regarding Akiva Miller's thoughtful response: "And He gave us a Torah

> brachos, and others" -- it brought to mind the talmudic statement:
> "Minhag mevattel halacha," which applies in a surprising number of
> cases -- similarly with takkanot. I am aware, however, that there is

> Movements,
> and I don't mean to quote it as sanctioning practices in the C.
> Movement which would be contrary to O. beliefs and practices.
