<DIV>This is a perennial on Avodah. The basic rule is that Litvishe poskim
say you can switch from Nusach Sfard to Ashkenaz but not the other way around,
while chassidishe poskim say you can switch from Nusach Ashkenaz to
Sfard but not the other way. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The former say that Nusach Ashkenaz was everyone's original nusach,
that's why you can switch back to what your forebears did. The latter say
Nusach Sfard is a higher, better, more holy nusach, that's why you can switch
from what your forebears did to the new improved model.</DIV>
