Halakhic Rulings
Question
Hello Rabbi, I wanted to ask what the objection is to Rabbi Ovadia’s approach to halakhic ruling in particular, and more generally what the difference is between the Ashkenazi and Sephardi approaches to halakhic ruling. Thank you.
Answer
How can one address such a general question? There is no such thing as a Sephardi or Ashkenazi approach to halakhic ruling. It’s like asking what the difference is between European art and American art.
And who objects to Rabbi Ovadia’s rulings? What objection are you referring to?
