[Mesorah] New Shtick

[R. Rich Wolpoe]

There are two related Issues re: Nusach and Minhag

1. Do we accept Nusach as is or do we roll it back to a more "authentic" earlier version?


2  Do we accept Minhag as is or do we roll it back to a more "authentic" earlier version?

And it seems sometimes that some people may wish to roll back nusach and still be open to "new" Minhag and vice versa.

--------------------

It's become obvious to me since R Hofmeister published his siddur, that the Nusach Ashkenaz at EG KAJ is not the "pristine" Nusach Ashkenaz of the Rishonim.

I can't be certain of the Minhagim, but R Binyamin Sh'lomoh Hamburger's works seem to best reveal the origins and nature of old Minhag Ashkenaz.
