<br>PS: What I've long wondered, considering that minhagei Ashkenaz are<br>supposed to come from EY and Sefard from Bavel, is why the Ashkenazi<br>version of the bracha for the tzibbur is in Aramaic while the Sefardi

The Yekum Purkan is clearly Babylonian. [no time to research details now] AFAIK It is an exception to the above Klal. [klal is a generality more than a rule] & FWIW In some Sephardic circles it is omitted due to the content of the bakashos involved. and I concur. The fact that the references tothe Reish Galutha are obsolete does not bother me so much. The bakashos themselves [
e.g. uvaryus gufa] seems to me as not shabbasdik<br>-- <br>Kol Tuv / Best Regards,
