<DIV>>>>>><BR>Just because one person finds some indications that
the custom may have been of Sabbatean origin doesn't mean that he's right, or
that you should stop a custom that by now is so widespread in Klal
Yisrael. An individual should not set himself up as a higher authority or
bigger tzaddik than everybody else, unless he hears that some of the biggest
gedolim and poskim stopped saying l'Dovid Hashem Ori for that reason, or
he really is a big posek himself, or has been told to do so by his own
posek or rav. </DIV>
