    I know several people. Why do you ask?

    By “does behab” you probably mean that the tzibbur does behab, because no individual actually does it.

    Most of the velt is burnt out of selichos already

    I am sure the Shomer Shabbos Shul in Boro Park will have a number of minyanim

    The Jekkish practice in marCheshvon is to observe BeHaB the last 2 Mondays in MarCheshvon with the intervening Thursday, so “the plumber” what I said was correct.

    1) Because as days get shorter, it makes fasting a shorter amount of time.

    2) The Mabul commenced marCheshvon 17th, and observing last 2 Mondays in marCheshvon, makes marCheshvon 17th, the earliest possible date that Sheni Kamo can come out on.

    3) It simulates Mishna in Taanis when 1st Taanis in case rain did not fall was be marCheshvon 17th.

    I believe the main Beis at YU says Slichos, if that’s what you’re asking.

    We had this discussion 3 years ago about the minhogim of when Behab is ‘done’.

    http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/behab-1

    In England, the minhag in London is the Jekkisch minhag, other places say it earlier.

    But I do find many places are opting out of saying these slichos. I can’t think why it has suddenly become ‘optional’. I was speaking to the Rav of a shul that is officially minhag Hamburg, and they stopped saying it when many people started davening elsewhere on those days. In the case of Yom Kippur Kotton it is only recent that it has become widespread. But Behab is a very old minhag. Does anyone have anything on this?

    Regarding the OP, many places are now saying Yom Kippur Koton especially before Elul. It is often surprising which minyonim say it. For example in Gateshead, (a few years ago, I’m not sure what the current situation is) the only regular YKK minyan was in the Boarding School/Mechina l’Yeshiva.
