Sam, what exactly is the unwritten Mesorah. You said that nobody is arguing that the Rabbonim lead the generation. I assume you meant like Rebbe Yochanan ben Zakkai or like the Rabanan of that generation. Like Shmuel (the Amora) in his generation and like Mar Yehuda in his, who although were not the Reish Galusa, they were the ones to negotiate with the king. And the Jewish position on things were always decided by the Rabbonim. You said that nobody argues on this.
Is it business advice that you have a problem with? Is it coming for a Bracha that you have a problem with?
