[Avodah] nusach in shul

[Ben Waxman]

This is exactly what we do at our shul, whoever gets up to daven is given 
the keys to the car. When the shul was founded, there was a vote taken as to 
what nusakh should be used. Askenaz won, 60:40. None the less the shul rav, 
based on advice given to him from Rav Lichtenstein, decided against having 
any set nusakh, as he felt that it would drive people away.

A friend told me that when he was learning at Netiv Meir, Rav Ovadia told 
the students there is no problem not having a set nusak; splitting the 
nusakh is a problem. However that is what we do and so do many other shuls.

Maybe a split nusakh is our nusakh.
