The Har Tzvi was asked if a Nusach Ashkenaz shul in Holon could institute <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; "> Kiddush in shul on Friday night. He said that this could be done (based on the MA OCh 269), but it could not be done in Yerushalayim. He gives no reason for this distinction; he apparently felt the minhag not to Kiddush in shul on Friday night is more firmly established in Yerushalayim elsewhere.</span></span></font></div>
