lachisrmma, do frum yeshiva people get “turned off” when someone points out a shitah/chumra that they do not keep out of ignorance?
I didn’t merely write that I have this wild idea that I came up with!
I posted a link to a respected sefer of halacha, the suggestion comes with sources and citations in footnotes.
The sefer (open link and check!) also states that the reason people don’t stay up both nights is because the tzibur find it difficult.
Translation: Really, one should, and that is the correct conduct al pi halacha! The fact that many of the tzibur have difficulty staying up two nights, is not a hetter for someone that can.
Therefore I wrote “wimping out to be meikel” for those that don’t stay up. Is that a “turn off”?
