| Jun 12, 2017 at 2:08 | comment | added | hazoriz | @ezra usually a ger has a teacher and should follow the minhag of his teacher or at least one of the Bais dins (Rav's) in his town | |
| Jun 9, 2017 at 17:11 | comment | added | ezra | @DanF - First off, I never said it was halacha. Secondly, you just said you learned how to do it from your rav! I said a ger, but in truth it's really anyone who never received a minhag from his father, which is primarily gerim. | |
| Jun 9, 2017 at 13:51 | comment | added | DanF | Can you support your 1st sentence? How do you know this method is inherited and one is required, halachically, to adhere to it? My father, a"h, never taught me any method. I think my shul rav showed me. Gee, does that mean that all these years I've been doing it wrong? I am not a ger, though many have said I look "strange" :-) | |

| Jun 9, 2017 at 2:11 | comment | added | ezra | @Bach - That Q&A has conflicting answers...Who am I to believe? Besides, that's changing your current minhag to another established minhag, not changing your minhag to one you made up. | |
