BaHaG
Question
In halakhic ruling, does one need to take into account the BaHaG’s puzzling positions? (For example, regarding the counting of the Omer, and there are many others.)
Answer
You don’t need to take anyone’s view into account. Do what you think is correct (or what your rabbi instructs). If there is an accepted Jewish custom that follows the BaHaG, that carries weight—not because the BaHaG wrote it, but because that is the custom.
