What is the majority of minhagim for this crowd?
Ashkenaz, Sephardi, Ari Zal, Lubavitch, Breslav...
My main question is which would be considered closest to the minhag Yeshua HaMoshiach would keep in our modern times.

Sorry, I don't speak Hebrew yet.  Would you mind translating? Thanks Messimom |

No problem.  A minhag is a custom. Therefore minhagim are customs. When some customs are observed long enough by a particular community (Ashkenazic or Sephardic), that practice becomes a part of their halacha and is then given the status of a minhag. To answer the original question, although born Ashkenazic, I observe Sephardic minhagim. I believe that Yeshua and his talmidim would also have observed Sephardic minhagim, although I'm not sure what customs would have been observed at that time. |

Thanks.  Unfortunately, I still can't answer that "poll" question because I don't know enough about each of the walks. I guess my answer is, What Would Yeshua Do? lol Messimom |

Having been raised as Ashkenaz, I tend to lean in this direction. Rarely does this come up, unless it is how I have my Tzit Tzti tied, or the Seforim I choose.
Shalom,
Yitzchak

The Schuster's on my mothers side are of Ashkenaz descent. I like to believe like Yeshua I agree with the halachah that agrees with  . So, this would include halachah from various sources. I am kindof like a halachah pack rat. Shalom chaverim, Reuel |

Messimom, Ashkenaz refers to the tradition of north European, Sepharadi refers to southern Europe, North Africa and South America. Ari Zal generally refers to a much more kabalistic form of Sephard stemming from Eretz (the land of) Israel. Yemenite refers to the middle east, but is sometimes included in Sepharad. The rest i.e. Breslav, Chabad Lubavitch, Satmar; are all Chasidic sects. Personally I am Chabad Lubavitch mainly Chabad Lubavitch (A chasidic sect of White Russia which encourages repentance and outreach), but certain traditions I have are different. My Beit HaMidrash (house of study or synagogue) is sephardic. My study is sephardic style, I study Ramban and Rambam. Ieat Sephardic food and my mother is sephardic, but that's it. |

This is what I like about Chabad. They will also not charge you for attending services on the High Holy days. We would all do well to learn from them.

from Sinai and transmitted it to Yoheshuah; Yoheshuah to the Shoftim; the Shoftim to the Nev'yim; and the Nev'yim transmitted it throughout Judea. It came BACK to Yohshuah HaMoshiach who retransmitted it to the rest of the world through Reb Sha'ul and Reb Cephas.
