Mishnah Berura, OC 8 (4) [10] says that the brocho on the Talis Godol is “lehisataif b*e*tzitis” and not as I see in the all my siddurim “lehisataif b*a*tzitis”. Are there many cases where what we do differs from the psak of the Mishnah Berura?

It certainly does for Sephardim. – Double AA♦ Feb 4 '12 at 23:35

And on a serious note, yes there are. Are you looking for a complete list of minhagim that are different? You will likely find lots of shuls have lots of different minhagim (let alone differences between the US and Israel and other places). I think you need to make your question more specific. – Double AA♦ Feb 4 '12 at 23:58
I believe the Mishna Berura even says not to say "Berich Shemeh" while most Ashkenazim still say it. I think if there is a Minhag that existed before the MB Ashkenazim might keep it (most of the time). – Hacham Gabriel Feb 5 '12 at 0:39
Interesting, this example you give is the Minhag of Sefaradim (see BI"H S"A Bereshit). – Hacham Gabriel Feb 5 '12 at 0:42
I've closed this question for the reason @DoubleAA has mentioned: "Are you looking for a complete list of minhagim that are different? You will likely find lots of shuls have lots of different minhagim (let alone differences between the US and Israel and other places). I think you need to make your question more specific." Or, in the words of the stock close reason: "This question is... vague,... overly broad,... and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form." If you wish to edit it to something reopenable, by all means do so; ping me with @msh210, and I'll be glad to reopen it. – msh210♦ Feb 5 '12 at 3:51

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.
