Clearheaded If your Rav has paskened that you may eat the Afikomen after Chatzos, then you are NOT going against Halacha.

There is no such a thing as a Rav telling someone to go against Halacha.

If he paskens that you may do it then by definition, you would be within Halacha to do so, even if someone elses Rav would tell THEM differently.

If what you are doing has not been sanctioned by any Rav and there is no written Halacha that in any way permits it, then you would be doing wrong, and claiming “well it’s our minhag” woild not make it kosher, anymore then having a “minhag” to drive on Shabbos would make HAT ‘kosher’.

Saying that; “But the metzias is that this halacha is lived differently today.”

Is like saying, that to go from driving South to driving West

you would be driving differently then if you had gone from driving South to driving East, because in one case, you make a right turn, and in the other case, you make a left turn.

You are not driving differently, the car was origionally made to turn in either direction.

You are not doing anything “different” with it, then how it was meant to be used.

Same thing with Halacha, if you are following the same Halacha which already said that under certain circumstances, a man may not have multiple wives, and the G’dolim have said that these days ARE, those circumstances, then nothing has changed in the Halacha or in how it is followed.

Perhaps you could say, that details of which aspect of the Halacha are in effect, have changed, but nothing in the Halacha has changed, since it includes all its details.

You post; (not necessarily to me specifically) ;;;;”Take any of my examples and explain how you live them differently,”;;;;;

I already have with your example about eating Matzoh after Chatzos.

A psak by Rav, that you may do it = following Halacha.

There is no such thing as violating Halacha and still doing what is right.

If it is right, then by definition, is it not against Halacha.
