[Avodah] fasting on RH

[Eli Turkel]

<<Scholarly opinion holds that fasting on RH was a prevalent minhag of
EY in times of the geonim, opposed by Geonei Bavel.  The vast majority
of Rishonim opposed it, however there are threads of the practice in
Ashkenaz during Rishonim times, not too surprising if one follows the
theory that minhag EY influenced minhag Ashkenaz.>>

Actually fasting on Rosh Hashana is already a machloket geonim
(brought in teshuvot hageonim). The prevelant minhag is like R. Hai
Gaon not to fast on RH as many others have brought
