That's like an entire Kehilla following the practice of using royal blue for the Paroches.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Suggesting Gebrochts which as we have documented has absolutely no Halachic foundation, is a Dovor ShaBeMinyan, is pretty close to fantasy. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div>Indeed<span style="font-size:12.8px"> we ought to be much more careful before suggesting Halacha from stories and hearsay from Poskim.</span></div></div>
