<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm hoping someone with a good knowledge of halachik/minhagic history can help me out. I recall learning a long while ago (don't know where don't know when) that the GRA's halachik positions were not accepted except by his few "students" and that it was only later (e.g. since his students were the ones who moved to E"Y his minhagim were established there, so to within certain Yeshivot later on).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I was just listening to R' Reisman's Navi shiur and he used the GRA as an example of how a generation followed its manhig.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Can anyone clarify</FONT>
