> And why isn’t r. Mirvis releasing the name of the posek
I agree w/ DaMoshe. Our expectations of “transparency” are going overboard. We have a sensitive relationship between a Chief Rabbi and a King, whoever symbolic his powers are now. And some are demanding that the Rav provide a written notice, specifically by a posek personally approved by the poster. Would _anyone_ be privy to medieval discussions between shtadlanim and kings?! We might have some glimpse in later writings – that might be true or just a legend. They were not published on internet the same day.
We are to see melachim as a glimpse of how we relate to King of Kings. this particular message might be that we do not always understand how and why the King do what they do, and how to approach them the right way, and we need to keep our places, unless “we are commanded to attend”. And attend when we are.
