Why shouldn't place determine the minhag? Minhag Lita, Poland, Ashkenaz, these are all places. If you move and do not adopt the minhagim of the current place, are you not porush min hatzibbur?<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

On board what? Living in EY should not cause one to abandon
Ashkenazic minhagim. (BTW, the person who writes this blog lives in

Question: In EY the Torah was read in a 3 or 3 and half year
cycle. If you want to follow the original EY way, then why
are you following the Babylonian yearly cycle? The answer is
because when they went back to EY they took with them their Golus
minhagim. <br><br>
