Non Political – not a blanket but a pillow to rest on. Seriously, can you provide the exact guidelines of when halacha says “minhag oker halacha”? One thing is clear, a minhag (even of noshim tzidkoniyos) that has been kept by a segment of frum yidden for centuries, is called “kodesh” and c”v for someone to come along and mock it. Chazal have used the criteria of “go and see what Yidden have been doing” to decide halacha. Thi criteria has extended into Shulchan Aruch and Nosei Keilim to include even a minhag noshim (who might not be as learned as men). Which kool aid do you use? Make sure it is kosher.
