In this episode the Chavrusa team of Rabbi Kivelevitz and Rabbi Worch find themselves in disagreementon almost everything.Scores of backyard Minyanim have begun springing up in North American communities against the wishes of the Community Rabbanim and Poskim,Rabbi Kivelevitz sees this as a reckless challenge to Daas Torah and as dangerously helping generate reinfection of the virus.Rabbi Worch questions the underpinnings of the idea of submission to Rabbinic authority when the issue is not one purely of Halacha.The argument escalates into an examination of various related topics;Nachshon Ben Aminodov's bold action at the shores of the Yam Suf, the Post-Churban enactment on Shemen Goyim that was rejected by the Tzibur,and the inaction of the Gedolei Yisroel in Europe before the Shoah to spur immigration to safer havens.Rabbi Kivelevitz calls for a careful reading of the Rambam's classification of Rabbinic legislationand suggests that the Psakim declaring activities as medically harmful,could qualify those rulings as "Issureri Cheftza",not merely a Syag.The debate summons up the polemic and psuedo-scholarship surrounding the nebulous nature of Daas Torah and whether there was indeed any weight to the pronouncements at the Internet Asifah.Please leave us a review or email us at ravkiv@gmail.comFor more information on this podcast visityeshivaofnewark.jewishpodcasts.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
