“ 1] DID A JEWISH COMMUNITY ANYTIME , ANYWHERE HOLD ATSAROT FOR KABALAT PNEI MASHIACH ?”
Possibly not- the avoda throughout golus was focused on Avodas habirurim. Now this is our focus, as we’ve finished Avodas habirurim- hence the difference.

CS agrees here there is no proof it was ever done. CS claims the avoda has changed.
This is one of the beginnings of The Schism.
The Schism between the main body of Klal Yisrael and a small minority of blind followers of the leader of habad hasidim. Who claimed , without any back up source, and for specific and obvious purposes, that the avoda changed.
