Some places in Chutz L'Aretz do duchan on HR. I davened in a Shteibel
near my home in Brooklyn on HR, and they did indeed duchan. Of
course, they daven the (Chassidishe) Nusach Sefard.<br><br>
I still recall what happened one year (some time between 1968 and 1973)
when I was living in Elizabeth, NJ. On HR Rav P. M. Teitz, ZT"L,
took huge Hoshanos. They were at least 6 feet tall and looked even
taller. Then, much to the surprise of everyone, he told the Kohanim to
duchan, which they did. Rav Teitz's shuls all davened Nusach
Ashkenaz.<br><br>
