clearheaded:
This conversation is clearly exhausted. You are speaking from a purely emotional standpoint, due to the feminist influence you’ve been exposed to. I know you claim not to be a feminist, but their philosphies and hashkofos have clearly rubbed off on you. (BTW, Wolf is admittedly clearly more receptive to feminism than even you.) I have not, nor will I, C”V consider you an apikorus, since you don’t know better and I see that you mean well, even though you have been led astray and off the reservation.
But essentially you HAVE in fact argued against the aforementioned meforshim I cited. It is apparent you haven’t read or studied or otherwise sought to understand exactly what these meforshim are saying. What you are stating is clearly at odds with how the halacha is explained there. I must assume this is not your intention, but as a matter of reality there is no other way to describe your comments other than being at odd with our heilige meforshim.
“However I do not agree that YOUR stand IS the meforshim’s stand.”
How can you “agree” or “disagree” with a stand on meforshim you never read?
“And because of HOW KLAL YISROEL PRACTICES HALACHA your stand CANNOT BE CORRECT. AS I HAVE BROUGHT DOWN INSTANCES THAT ARE HALACHA THE WAY THE MAJORITY OF KLAL YISROEL PRACTICES.”
Incorrect. It is possible the majority practices a certain halacha incorrectly. Judaism isn’t ruled by majority. Judaism isn’t a democracy. (This can be said without even addressing how in fact the majority act in the area under discussion.) If we went by how the majority ACTS, the Reform/Conservative actions would unfortunately constitute a majority. I’m sure even you would admit that it would be preposterous to go by how such a majority ACTS. Jews are imperfect – we know that and accept it – but Judaism is perfect, and unchangeable. We do not make over G-d in our own image.
Klal Yisroel does not practice halacha (in the parts of Klal Yisroel that faithfully practices halacha) differently than our holy meforshim I’ve quoted tell us to. Practical halacha on a m’doraisa does not ever deviate with the passage of time from the basic interpretation of the m’doraisa.
There is no more I can add to this conversation. Whatever you plan on responding will surely be the same repetitive and incorrect points you’ve made thus far. One day, I trust, you too will come to your proper Yiddishe senses, and the golus influence will have evaporated from you. Hopefully that will occur prior to the arrival of Moshiach; but better yet Moshiach will be here very shortly, Bimhera Byomeinu Amen.
