[Avodah] Another Chumera ends up Involving a Kula

[Micha Berger via Avodah]

In OC 196:1, the Rama mentions the minhag of blowing 30 qolos at the
end of RH mussaf. "Ule'achar sheyatze'u bazeh, shuv ein litqua od
bechinam."

(Although a qatan, even higia lechinuch, may.)

So, if in your shul, people stay late to hear other varations of the
qolos -- Rashi, Brisker, shevarim-ter'uah beneshimah achas or 2 neshimos,
etc... -- they are actually being meiqil as well.

As for being yotzei... Mitzvas shofar only requires tashra"t, tasha"t
OR tara"t, 3 times. A point the AhS makes besheim the Rash besheim R'
Hai Gaon (Shilhei RH), "delav sefeiqos gemuros hein", that Rav Avahu
was mesaqein in order for everyone to do the same thing, not because
otherwise you're not yotzei shemie'as qol shofar. The AhS criptically
adds, "(ulevad zeh yeish bazeh inyan gadol)." So the question is whether
you have to blow in numerous ways few other people use in order to fulfil
a taqanah created to create uniformity of practice.

But enough of the tirade, and back to the point: Being machmir in hilkhos
shofar this way involves a qulah in hilkhos yom tov.

Tir'u baTov!
-Micha
