<DIV>Also, when turning to the entrance of the shul it is suggested that one
turn counterclockwise. That is, one should turn to <I>Maariv </I>via
<I>tzafon</I> and return from the west to <I>Mizrach </I>via
<I>Darom</I>. Siddur Sha'ar Yisakhar (Brooklyn 1982), pg.103. (It would
probably take me a year to memorize all the intricate directions).</DIV>

you recall, or know, why one would turn counter clockwise. The SA in
hilchos Birchas Kohanim (128:17) says they should turn to their right,
which would be clockwise. If the reason is because one always turns to the
right (Taz), why would this be any different?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
