TAGS:minhag | Halacha - Ancestry | | Submitted by anonymous Answered by Rav Peretz Moncharsh | | Question: If one is raised as an Ashkenazi, and his family has been practicing ashkenazi customs for at least 4 generations does he continue to do so if he finds out that he is really of sephardic decent? Thank you.
| | Answer:
You should continue following the customs your father and
grandfather observed. The essence of a Minhag is continuing one’s parent’s
practices; as no one can know with certainty what was the “original” Minhag.
