Shalom everyone,
I have a question, there are two ways (that I know of) of shaking the arba minim on Sukkot (east,south,west,north,up,down) and (south,north,east,up,down,west). My question is if those different ways would be called different nussachim or different minhagim?
Thank you very much in advance
I would say minhagim. As far as I know, nusach only refers to davening and leining.
Definitely a minhag. A “nussach” is a version of something, therefore including davening, learning, singing etc. Your “nussach” is also a minhag – i.e. “My minhag is to daven Nussach Ari”.
“minhag” can refer to the format of following a Halacha, as here, and there are more than two ways. In rishonim there is mention of ma’aleh u’morid, molich u’mavee. There is also chiluk with associated waving or shakes to the x/y axes moves, is it one move or three moves, one move and three shakes, or the combination? I have heard of a concept of being yotze all deos. Not a nussach issue by any means. Hag sameach y’all
