If you're chassidish, it means papal infallibility. In litvishe circles, it means that one has learned so much torah that one thinks like the Torah thinks. A lawyer is so immersed in his law that he approaches everything like a lawyer. A handyman looks at everything and notices what needs to be fixed. A historian looks at everything and compares it to past examples. A linguist picks up accents. An anthropologist picks up subtle social behavioral cues that other miss. An IT professional will see patterns of phishing and social engineering that others completely miss. And a person with Daas Torah will compare everything to points made by chazal and have his viewpoint guided by chazal. This is very litvish, very non-mystical. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/daas-toyrah#post-318687 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 11:54:15 +0000 Sam2 318687@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Optimusprime: I don't get you.
