I had stated what I thought was “Daas Torah” (i.e. the opinion of the Gedolim) regarding the appropriate approach to kiruv. My impression was that Yichusdik was telling me that I am wrong and I am not allowed to have that approach because Rav Noach Weinberg, zatsal, had a different hashkafa on this issue than the Gedolim do, and I have to listen to Rav Noach Weinberg, zatsal instead of the Gedolim, since he was the expert on kiruv.
Perhaps I misunderstood you, and if so I sincerely apologize. Since I thought that was what you meant, that is what I was responding to.
If that is what you meant, I greatly object to that statement. Whether or not we are wrong or right about what the Gedolim really hold and what Rav Noach Weinberg, zatsal, really held is irrelevant right now. I am and was referring to the hashkafa that one should attain his hashkafa from an “expert” in a field (whatever the field may be) as opposed to the Gedolim.
If I want to find out what the Torah approach is to a specific medical procedure that I have reason to believe may involve halachic or hashkafic issues, what would I do? I would first speak to the medical experts in order to find out the exact nature of the procedure so that I could make sure I present the question correctly, but the actual question (regarding the Torah halacha or hashkafic approach) would be asked to the Gedolim.
The same thing in any field, kiruv included. Torah hashkafa must come from the Gedolim period. And that was my point.
