Interesting, because I thought that RACN's agenda was to justify the
accepted practice in his local, in EY in the early 20th cent. (Something
I learned on-list 15 years ago.) Minhag Y-m is RACN's shiurim, because
RACN started with the assumption that Minhag Y-m was roughly accuate,
with the Sepharadim being the more precise.

RACN himself was a Lubavitcher chassid of the Yishuva haYashan, born
in Chevron. I do not know why people usually call him "Rav Chaim Naeh",
ommitting his first name "Avraham".

Tir'u baTov!
