  1. They say the 12 tribes each had a different nusach of tefilla, and each had its own customs.
    ==================

    So I've heard - but who actually says it (i.e. what is the earliest source?)

  2. I recall it being brought down in the into to Tehillas HaShem (Lubavitch). I don't recall the makor, though.

  4. sorry for my lack of clarity (as you can see I was part of that avodah discussion) - aiui the ah"s wasn't claiming the shvatim had different nuschaot, just that differences in minhag should be respected wherever they originate from becaise diversity is ok. I wanted to know if anyone actually claims the shvatim had different nuschaot.
