# In general, if a community with Minhagim is removed from its location for whatever reason and another community (not just individuals) eventually takes its location, the second community maintains its own traditions and is not bound by the traditions of the original one.<ref>See Beur Halacha 468 s.v. Vechumrei HaMakom</ref> However, in Eretz Yisrael, where the Minhag has been like the Shulchan Aruch, the lack of current Sepharadic community following the Shulchan Aruch does not mean that the new Sepharadic communities to settle there are independent of its rulings, because '''the Sepharadic acceptance of Shulchan Aruch is not a function of Minhag HaMakom or Mara deAtra, which could be lost, but rather, acceptance on the community and all its descendants.''' Therefore, the communities moving to Eretz Yisrael are themselves communities that already live under the banner of Shulchan Aruch, as they have for centuries, and continue to do so. Of course, if they ''never'' accepted the Shulchan Aruch, that's a different story. With respect to the Rambam, however, the acceptance ''was'' a function of Mara deAtra, so the acceptance is not binding on new communities.<ref>Rav Chaim David HaLevi (Shu"t Aseh Lecha Rav vol. 7 Siman 4) defending Rav Ovadia (Shu"t Yechave Da'at 1:12) against a question by Rav Avraham Sherman (Niv HaMidrashia vol. 18-19 Iyyar 5745)</ref> | |||
