Later authorities who disagree with medieval authorities
Question
Hello Rabbi, the Rabbi has written in several places that there are cases in which later authorities (Acharonim) disagree with medieval authorities (Rishonim) (if I’m not mistaken, the Rabbi gave the Hazon Ish as an example). Does the Rabbi remember any prominent examples of this?
Thank you.
