hello99: chok uz’mahn was ABSOLUTELY NOT written by a belzer chosid, and the mekoros he brings there (especially in his letter in the hosofos in the back of the sefer) are not of people who learned in ponovizh, but of those who learned in kelm, telz, kletzk etc., with their names, so with all due respect to your rebbeim, they obviously don’t know everything about lithuanian history. besides, as others have already testified here, the minhog was widespread across the Jewish world, including by many sfardim. even if you are very thin-skinned, you are still factually wrong in your claim that “as I said it was never the minhag except by Chassidim, don’t care which seforim mention the concept”… what you care about or not is irrelevant…
