[Avodah] roots of Ashkenaz

[Eli Turkel]

<< That's very different than saying they set out to align Minhag Ashkenaz
and shas as a project in and of itself. There are very few examples of
that across the entire corpus, not enough to call that a primary theme.
I can think of:
   1- mayim acharonim,
   2- not learning shelish bemiqra ushelish bemishnah,
   3- clapping on Shabbos,  >>

I thought that much of the work of Dr. Hyam Soloveitchik was to show how
the tosafists intrepreted gemarot to justify local customs especially with
regard to stam yenam, usury and general commerce
