<DIV>On page 267 at the top Ya'ari says RCV reported that he saw his rebbe dance
"b'lyle *Motzoei Yom Tov* Achar Maariv." It was then (on Motzoei Yom Tov) that
he made the 7 HaKafos. This is not on SA, it is on Isru Chag in EY. True, the
writer writes ST, but he is referring to what is ST in Chutz L'Aretz.
Furthermore, RCV writes that he did not see what the ARI did during the day.

<P>WADR, you are quoting half of the SH. First, RCV writes that the minhog to be
makif "Shacharis, Mincha, and Motzei YT by Maariv is a true minhog". Clear that
hakofos - took place ON YT.</P>
<P>Then he writes that "I saw him dance etc Motzei YT after Maariv etc, BESIDES
(- in addition) to the complete hakofos of the day of ST (- meaning SA)",
however he writes that he was not actually there by day and therefore "I did not
see them".</P>
<P>There is however no question that they happened, and Yaari also understands
it thus.</P>
<P>I do not begin the see the issue here, and room for
dispute.</P></DIV></BODY></HTML>
