Shul - how should a sefardi say the kaddish in an ashkenaz shul We've seen that many of the Ashkenazi poskim are of the view that one should adhere to minhag hamakom when it comes to saying kaddish, kedusha and items that are caused by the tzibur. One who is Sephardic and is an avel, what should he do according to the Sephardic poskim? The Yalkut Yosed, Rav Ovadia Yosef paskens and says that Rav Benzion Aba Shaul paskens the same way, if a Sephardi davens with Ashkenazim and is an avel who is saying kaddish, he should stick with his own nusach and not change, i.e. he should continue saying veyatzmach purkanei and the other differences in kaddish. So we have a contention between the psak of Gedolei Ashkenaz and Gedolei Sephard. I asked Rav Rosenthal of Sha'arei Chessed, and he says what is done in the Gras hull, one who davens as a chazzan has to adhere to minhag Ashkenaz, even if it's a Sephardi who is davening as a chazzan, he has to skip over the part of veyatzmach purkanei. However if there is an avel who is not a chazzan, he can adhere to his own minhag because we see how important it is to the Sephardic poskim to stick with their own nusach. However he added that the minhag of Eretz Yisroel, this is not the minhag I have seen in chutz le'aretz, that many shulls at the end of shachris add another barchu, and here there is a difference between the minhagim, in minhag Ashkenaz is to add barchu on days that there is no krias hatorah, but on days of krias Hatora there is no additional barchu. However the Sephardim do add barchu even on days of krias hatorah. Rav Rosenthal said that when one is davening in a shull, in such a case he has to stick with nusach Ashkenaz, but he should not say barchu on days of krias hatora and adhere to minhag hamakom. .
