Apr 19, 2017 at 16:13 comment added Laser123 reading rus on shavuos is a minhag. do shul's that read rus make a bracha before and after?
Jan 4, 2017 at 1:01 comment added WAF The T'shuvos Hariva"sh #111 seems to differentiate between minhagim "kalim" like chavatas aravos, and minhagim that are very similar to mitzvos (I'm deducing that classification from his examples, prime among which is lighting the m'nora in shul) - the former being the ones we never say b'rachos for.
Jul 2, 2012 at 19:02 comment added Charles Koppelman i always heard that lighting hanukiah in shul is because you have a minyan for persuei nisa - the main reason for lighting the lights at all.

Dec 22, 2011 at 0:30 comment added Curiouser Most rishonim actually think that transients or homeless or (even) people who just aren't careful in mitzvos can indeed fulfill at least part of their obligation with the lighting in shul.

Dec 21, 2011 at 19:14 comment added msh210 @GershonGold, there are many. "K'rias Yam Suf" on Pesach, eating dairy on Shavuos (and Chanuka), eating simanim on R"H, etc., etc.

Dec 21, 2011 at 16:06 comment added YDK And many question the Shulchan Aruch's ruling on this since he paskens that we don't say a bracha on Rosh Chodesh hallel. The Aruch haaShulchan tries to answer this with 2 factors that affect the ruling: a) some may be sleeping in the shul; b) Shul is the main mitzva now that we light inside.
Dec 21, 2011 at 15:08 comment added Gershon Gold There is one Minhag that we do not make a Bracha on - which is the Minhag of Arava.
