My son Zvi asked me tonight the following question:<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">IF the orignal Minhag had been to keep 2 days of YK when kevius was still by witnesses
<br>THEN would Hazal have subsequently exempted a 2-day YK when the calendar became fixed by Hillel II? <br clear="all">OR would they have perpetuated the "minhag avoseinu b'yadeinu" for YK , too and required 2 days?"
<br></blockquote><br>Seconds later a follow-up, corollary question occurred to me:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">Given that there were Amora'im in the G'mara who DID observe 2 days of YK -
<br>
Q: Were those Amorai'm ONLY before Hillel II? IOW did that "humra" disappear with the advent of a fixed calendar? <br></blockquote><br>If anyone can point me to that sugya I can check it out myself.<br><br>
