Think of the machloqes SA haRav and Siddur Harav re: tefillin on ChhM.
If<br>
one's ancestors were Ashkenazim they all wore t'fillin during ChhM
until<br>
Hasssidism and GRA changed it<br>
<br>
Here's another for S'phardim re: N'filas apayim <br>
Hida opposes the Rema's requirement of Sefer Torah and claims
n'filat<br>
apayim does not require a Sefer Torah. But nowadays most edot
mizrach<br>
don't do n'filat apayim at all.<br>
<br>
There are probably dozens of similar changes over the years. <br>

For more on this, I suggest that people listen to Rabbi Binyamin
Hamburger's talk
<a href="http://www.yiwb.org/Rabbi%20Hamburger.mp3">Rabbi
Hamburger-Ashkenaz/Sfard</a> There you will hear some things that I
found most interesting. For example, that Rav Shach put on tefillin at
home during Chol Moed when he lived in EY; saying Kaddish Yasim
more than once a day may be problematic; more than one person saying
kaddish has it problems, etc.<br><br>
There have indeed been many changes over the years.<br><br>
