On the use of smart phones and the expression of protests

Shalom Rabbi Michi

Continuing this dialogue:

In Gaza, an ascent to the Temple Mount will take place this Tuesday

The aliyah is defined as the aliyah of children (but of course people of all ages are welcome as always in any case).

Of course, every child comes with their parents or an adult companion.

As we know, the Temple Mount is not in our hands, so it is impossible to know in advance who, how much, and how it will be. We are making our best efforts….

You must be prepared to stand for a long time until you enter.

Those who intend to make the pilgrimage must contact us in advance for coordination, halachic and technical updates, and other necessary details.

——————————————————————————————

Because I studied with Torah scholars who oppose immigration

I felt it appropriate to express my protest against this publication.

On the other hand, since there are scholars who encourage ascending the mountain after learning the necessary laws, I saw fit to express my protest against your comment.

Rabbi:

Since I usually formulate my own positions, and if I don’t have a position, I don’t protest on behalf of the positions of others, I express my protest against the protests expressed here.

I’m curious to ask how you see the issue of using a TAH.

Which I think is a Talmudic/Mishnah source?

I’m not asking defiantly.

Hello.
Tuba should be extended regarding the use of TAH. Here I will try to explain my opinion briefly.
First, the essence of the matter: Torah study consists of two things: A. Knowledge of the details and the rules. on. Methods of analysis and ruling. The use of the Tahach is solely concerned with studying the methods of ruling and acquiring good and honest intuitions, and not with learning the details of halakha (which are found today in books. Therefore, the Rema wrote that in our day there is no clear Rabbinic law).
Conclusion: When you hear a rabbi give a halachic ruling, it is only an instruction for you on how to analyze and think. In fact, you are not supposed to hear from him what the halachic ruling is, but how to arrive at it. What is incumbent on you now is to formulate your own position while using his words. This is the true use. Accepting his words as they are (as is) is not a proper use, but rather a foolish act. You are using your rabbi as a book, and even a book is not right to use this way.
Another conclusion: If your rabbi, whom you chose to study with, says one thing, but there are other opinions, you cannot protest them unless you have also formed your opinion in that direction. There are no protests in the name of the opinions of others. They have their own rabbi and their own opinion. If this is your opinion, you can protest because you think there is a mistake here. So does your rabbi, of course, because he has his own opinion. But protesting in the name of the opinion you heard from your rabbi is a self-righteous monkey. Are they to blame for you choosing to study with him? And should everyone study with him and accept his opinion? In this way, you can protest against Yemenites who act like the Rambam because you heard from your rabbis or from your community who rule like the Shulchan Arba. Or protest against Easterners who rule like the Shulchan Arba because your rabbi rules like the Shulchan Arba. After all, this is foolishness, isn’t it? Do you think this is a use of the Talmud? This is the opposite of the Talmud because it means you did not learn to learn and rule from them, so what use did you make? And all of this, of course, even if the use of the Tah was to accept your rabbi’s opinion as it is, which in itself is a mistake, and so on.
I had a rabbi (a Lithuanian from Bnei Brak) with whom I now disagree on almost nothing. But from the beginning he treated me the right way, meaning he didn’t give me instructions and rulings but taught me to think and analyze. He taught me what is called the use of the rabbi’s rabbinical code, although I assume that if you asked him he would tell you to listen to your rabbi as is. Sus is a Lithuanian Haredi. I am grateful to him for his attitude and the way he chose to treat me. I wish all rabbis would treat their students this way and allow them to serve as rabbis and not copy their words like monkeys. In general, the rabbi’s role is to raise the student to be himself, coherent and complete, and not to duplicate himself (= the rabbi). This is true rabbi’s use of the rabbi. And I hereby protest to anyone who thinks otherwise.

You wrote:

Is there any point in you elaborating on this?
It’s just that all the time they talk about the use of Talmud Torah scholars, I can’t understand what those tools are. If I study the third book in the trilogy, can I rule on my own? What does intuitions mean? I can’t understand.

Sorry, but I would like to further refine my question: Is there really something universal here that everyone shares, and isn't it just about completely different learning methods? It seems at least from most rabbis that it's all the same source, and I wonder how there are so many different rulings and ways of learning.

Don't take it too seriously. Just as you do an internship in medicine or law, so too does Halacha ruling. There is a gap between theory and practice. When you come to a case and discuss it, it is worth acquiring skills in how to analyze it and how to approach it, and in the end there are no decisive ones. This requires sticking to the judge and following his way of conducting himself. This does not mean that everyone rules the same thing or that it is an exact science, as in medicine and law it is not so.
By the way, reading Sh”it is not a bad practice.

So just to clarify - isn't this some kind of metaphysical thing that comes down the pipeline from the sages? It's simply a skill and intuition that needs to be acquired while adhering to a wise student and understanding his way of thinking?
