[Avodah] ashkenazi minhag

[Joel Schnur]

On the issue of Lo sisgodidu:

 

Rav Pam, who put on tefilin during chol hamoed, once told me that he "does
not understand why ppl raise Lo sisgodidu when it comes to chol hamoed
minyanim. Nowadays everyone knows that there are different minhagim so it
shouldn't be applicable. Nonetheless, people who put on tefilin, should try
and have their own minyan." I first met him succos 1967, standing at the
entrance of the Young Israel of Rugby(?) in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, trying
to drum up a few more ppl for his tefilin minyan. 

 

I found the same language in Rav Moshe Shternbauch's, Maase Rav HeChadash
regarding doing tachnun on the tefilin hand. He holds like the Ari and the
Gra that we are nofel on the tefilin hand, and that it is not an inyan of lo
sisgodidu and he doesn't understand why all those ppl who say that they
follow the Ari in so many instances don't do likewise.
