[Avodah] minhag shtut

[Eli Turkel via Avodah]

I am not sure what a minhag shtus is - many are controversial

1) Is believing in segulot a minhag shtut? Some on this list think so but
many Jews beleive in them
BTW tonight there is a super-moon (
http://earthsky.org/tonight/most-super-supermoon) and there is a special
prayer for refuah of the family

2) not eating in the succa on shemini atzeret (outside EY) is this wrong or
an accepted minhag - depends who you ask

3) RYBS was against the minhag to have the tefillin with a square knot. A
square knot is not a double daled. OTPH many people do wear the square knot

etc
