Hello Neville, I’ll try to keep it alive.

Here are two minhag haGra brachos that are universally said in Israel and not in chutz la’aretz (if there are exceptions, they prove the rule)

1. Shehecheyanu at every bris after the bracha lehachniso

2. Shir hashirim, Rut and Kohelet are read from a klaf with two brachot, al mikra megilla and shehecheyanu. Some read Eichah from a klaf with only al mikra megilla, most do not read Eichah from a klaf (no klaf, no bracha)
