With all due respect, not all Sephardim follow Yalkut Yosef. There ARE instances when a bracha is recited over a Talit katan. Regarding Talit Gadol, the custom is to wear it at Bar Mitzvah. And NO COVERING HEAD. Only Talmidei Chachamim did that. If a lay person did it, it’s a sign of arrogance.
Ashkenazim have a neurotic and complicated time with Israel. Why do you complicate things. Israel is good. Nekuda.
The Baba Sali was known to ONLY sing during Seuda Shlishit. No Divrei Torah. Just singing.

Purely cultural. You are not less religious if you don’t do it. Ashkenazic meshugas.
There’s a lot of mahloket among Ashkenazim. Sheesh.
Not everyone calls it that. We call it Shemini Shel Pesach
Shehakol. Rav Ovadia rules that mushrooms are shehakol since mostly they are hydroponic
Is this what Ashkenazim worry about??
The Jews used to be an enlightened people. Oy.
Ashkenazim are definitely prone to seclusion and extremism. This is not a universal thing among all Jews, thankfully.
Is this really what you guys are wasting your time thinking about? Get a life.
What makes him “very Yeshivish”?
The answer is that Yeshivish is an artificial, modern phenomenon. They took an ideal and applied to the masses and expect people to conform to it. Doesn’t work, ergo, unhappy.
I don’t think anyone holds that eggs are basari. Is this another meshugas from our brothers from the north?
CORRECTION:. eat food that was cooked in a pot that was used to cook rice
