Be Happy – Weird minhagim? I’m a Gerrer all my life, my father and grandfather too. I really can’t think of any weird minhagim that we have. Unless the very dangerous minhag of a special kesher in the palm made with the tefilin shel yad that I know nobody else makes. That can really turn off people from yiddishkeit. And of course there’s the extremely well known weird minhag of learning an hour shabbos morning between shachris and leining. Now that minhag is truly terrible. Oh yes and of course everybody knows that ger hardly davens on rosh hashono and yom kippur. So Be Happy, any other weird stuff we do? Unless you’re talking about the “minhagim” that the Rambam brings as halocho and Shulchan Orech too and many many other sifrei kodesh.
