How recent, and how widespread, is the custom of 100 kolot?<br>The SA seems to say the Sefardi (i.e. Spanish) custom in his day was<br>to blow 61 kolot. The Rema gives various customs, ranging from 40<br>to 90. The earliest mention of 100 I was able to find was from the
<br>Shelah. So, what do the different edot actually do?<br><br>In particular, the child of a friend learned in school that<br>"Ashkenazim blow 100 kolot, and Sefardim blow 101". I'm pretty sure<br>that's incorrect, but since we have people here from different edot,
<br>perhaps we can compile a list. E.g. what is actually done today by<br>Yekkers, Oberlanders, Libyans, Syrians, Temanim, etc?<br></blockquote></div><br></span>The Spanish and Portuguese in London (and here in Jerusalem where we mostly follow London minhagim) blow 100, (not counting the final Teru'a Gedola) as follows:
<br><br>Di-meyushav :<br>TSRT TSRT TSRT<br>TST TST TST<br>TRT TRT TRT<br><br>No Shofar in the silent Amida. In Hhazarat Hashatz:<br>Malchuyot: TSRT TSRT TSRT<br>Zichronot: TST TST TST<br>Shofarot: TRT TRT TRT<br><br>In the middle of Kaddish:
<br>TSRT TST TRT<br><br>After Kaddish:<br>TSRT TSRT TSRT<br>
TST TST TST<br>
TRT TRT TRT<br>
<br>Sephardi Yerushalmi also blow 100, but distributed slightly differently. In both the silent Amida and repetition they blow TSRT TST TRT for each of M, Z and S, and they omit the 30 kolot after Kaddish.<br><br>Shenizke lishmo'a shofaro shel Mashiahh.
