Therefore, when attending the weddings of his Sephardic students, he only agrees to recite Be'yat Zom's

but not the Sheva Brachos.

Despite his stringent opinion, this is the part I do not know, he does not impose it on his students.

In fact, on one such occasion, at Birch Samazan of Rav Eich Sultan's wedding, Rav Schechter was passed the microphone to recite one of the Sheva Brachos, and he did.

As it seems, he was willing to let go of his stringent position in order not to embarrass anyone.

meaning when asked in advance, he would say, but given the microphone on the spot, he doesn't want to embarrass anybody to suggest publicly that all these brachas are brachas of Atala, I don't know how any of you could be saying them, so he relies on the sheet of Rav Avad, that you're allowed to say those brachas.

Another argument to do away with the Sephardic practice is that they make Shavuot brachas at the end of the Su'udah,

which is very strange if they don't have Nisuan yet.

If they haven't had Yichud yet, how are they even making a Shavar Brachos after the meal, which is already, meaning it says you're in Shavar Brachos week already.

So that's a little bit difficult.

Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef says that, no, for those purposes, for the purposes of those Brachos, we rely on one of the other Shitos as to what Nisuan is.

Maybe being under the Chuppah's Nisuan, maybe wrapping themselves in...

In the Talus, like Isfard and Chassan and Kala and Yaki, Chassan and Kala also wrap themselves in Talus.

Maybe that's considered Nisun, so we could rely on that.

Another reason that they suggest to perhaps change the Minag is that many mixed marriages between Isfard and Ashkenazim, the Kala finds it very disappointing and the guests find it very confusing.

if there is no Yichud, and very often you'll have a Chassen teacher or a Kala teacher, more often a Kala teacher that tells the Kala how it's emotionally healthy, and she needs the time alone with her husband at that time, and otherwise it's going to be too much for her to handle, it's going to be too overwhelming for her, so for those reasons they try to introduce Yichud even at a Sephardic wedding in violation of Sephardic tradition.

So the halakhah of the Meisah, the Sephardic tradition, is pretty clear on this, and l'chaura should be maintained.

Rabbi Jakter quotes Rav Levi from Gush, who suggests that Sephardim should change their practice, and in fact, I think he's a Rosh Kolah in Gush, and he wrote a response to Rav Yitzchak Yosef's piece, where Rabbi Jakter suggests maybe a compromise, that you could do yichud without edim,

and leave the door unlocked so they could keep up the Tzura of Yichud room without actually having the halachic qualifications of Yichud.

or you could put someone else in the room, like we would do at a Chuppas Nida, where you put a child in the room, or something like that, so you could have somewhat of a Tzura of Yichud, without having the actual Yichud.
