[Avodah] Sim shalom-Shalom Rav

[D&E-H Bannett]

Re Nuschaot from the geniza and RMB' comment << AFAIK none 
of them give context about where they were said.>>

It's true that the source from the geniza from which I 
quoted the sim shlom'kha nusach does not say where it was 
said.  It is considered to be from Eretz Yisrael because it 
is the complete sh'moneh esrei and has other signs of E"Y 
nusach.

In addition to BA"H oseh ha-shalom (that is sometimes found 
in Bavel and therefore isn't 100% proof of E"Y) it also has 
the two Bavel b'rakhot "matzmiach keren yeshu'a" and "boneh 
Yerushalayim" combined in a single b'rakha and other "known" 
E"Y nuschaot. Somewhere in the archives (Avodah or Mesorah) 
there should be my posting about the Talmud Yerushalmi on 
the combined b'rakhot and how the 17 became 18 when 
lameshumadim (now known as lamalshinim) was added.


kvh"t,
