Reb Eliezer: according to you what is the psak?
while I am also curious, I have to admit this is an unfair question. Actual psak could – and should – be different for different people.
I recall being in a class by a University Rav, who mentioned that he gets asked every year whether it is “mutar” to take a class “Comparative Religions”, that goes thru all kinds of avodah zarah.
Students: “nu, what’s the halakhah?”
Rav: “what do you mean? there is no one halakhah, depends who is asking. For some people who can get affected by all these images, it is asur; for others, who might go into academia and need to know how to talk to people artound them, it is mutar.
Students: <stunned by the idea that halakhah is different for different people – after memorizing so much “certain halakhah” in yeshiva high schools>
