Over the years, many posts in many threads have bemoaned the loss of 
various minhagim, and changes to them, and have hailed the KAJ 
community as a stalwart of retaining old-time Ashkenaz. The recent 
thread about selichos at shacharis, musaf and mincha on YK is but one 
example.

I was thus very surprised to read in R' Yitzchok Levine's post, of 
Rav Schwab adding hakafos to Maariv of Simchas Torah in not one, but 
two such shuls. I'm curious what his reasons were, and what the 
shuls' reactions were.
