My mesorah is when the name Haman is said – to bang with my hand on the table. Yes, I am a Hand Banger.
Lately I am thinking of joining the Foot Stompers. They are so cool and I think it would be nice to be one of them.
I know it means breaking from my mesorah and there are halachic issues with Foot Stompers (being mevazeh the mitzvah by using your feet!).
Many Gedolim even consider Foot Stompers as Ovdei Avoda Zara because Aravim bowed to the dust on their feet!
Besides, the Foot Stompers also do a Hoicha Kedusha at mincha, but the Hand Bangers don’t sleep in the Sukkah! I am unsure about Gebrokts or kitniyos or views on Moshiach.
– so is there a problem leaving my mesorah to join the Foot Stompers?
