Thank you haKohen for that informative contribution to this thread. Out of curiosity (on the topic of the OP), do Oberlanders wash before Kiddush? Make a bracha if they wrap tefillin on Chol HaMoed?
I’m not sure why 555 is trying to be so argumentative. Nobody is making accusations, nobody said anything bad about the “69 Shul,” and as for the question “Why would you want to know? How would it affect you either way?”
Because we’re curious about other’s minhagim. What’s wrong with that?
