What is Da'at Torah?
Question
Hello to the Rabbi, may he live long and well.
What did the Rabbi mean when he said “Da'at Torah” several times? Do you mean some conclusion that emerges from Jewish law and says something about the world (for example, that kindness is good because Jewish law talks about it a lot), or as the Rabbi brought the example of safeguarding life, where Jewish law determines that one is obligated to listen to experts, and the like?
Answer
I did not understand the question. Please explain what you mean.
