>> “asay lechoh rav”
thanks, that’s in the Mishna, my Rav knows that. “Daas Torah” (DT) is not the same and, as I mentioned, is no in the Gemorah. (if you think it is the same, you are doing DT wrong!).
I did not double-check Encyclopedia Talmudit myself, relying on what the Rav said, on his “daas Torah”, if you wish 🙂
So, seems like I am stuck in this paradox – my DT says there is no DT .. So, if I follow his DT, it is not binding. If I don’t follow his DT, then I am not following on his DT …
PS if you are afraid you are doing it wrong – here is material that might help fix your DT:
Wiki quotes Rav Shafran (pro) who admits taht the phrase is new but refers to other related concepts and Rav Nahum Rabinowitz Z”L against. Amazon has a 460 page book by Daniel Eidensohn of Daas Torah Hebrew sources ….
