Reply To: Comparing Sephardic and Ashkenazic Chumras and Kulot

I find one thing ashkenazim are more into than sefardim is the churban. A have nine days S have only the week of tisha bav. By a shiva call, A say עם שאר אבלי ציון וירושלים S just say תתנחמו מן השמים. A say אור חדש על ציון תיאר S skip that. A say צור ישראל קומה בעזרת ישראל and S skip that too. I believe the reason is because S come from בבל that did not experience חורבן בית שני while A come from those that went back with Ezra to ארץ ישראל. I have proof that I am right about the historical origins of the A and the S
