please > What bothers me is the complete disregard for this fact that as long as one is following Halacha from his Rabanim, he is doing Ratzon Hashem.
We do not currently have a Sanhedrin, that we should follow – and if Sanhedrin makes a mistake there is a Torah-prescribed procedure for karbonos, so it even a mistake by a Sanhedrin is not an unthinkable situation. So, as we have multiple groups of rabbonim makes different rulings, at some point you become responsible for your decisions. This should especially apply to modern charedi community where many people spend years learning and, in addition, can access variety of other opinions with modern communication tools, starting with this CR. Respect for Rabbonim is great, but a large community of Talmidei Cahchomim should be able to ask questions of those Rabbonim – and, at the end, Rabbonim are indirectly elected by the community itself: you decide where to send your shailos, where to send your children to school, which Rebbe’s tisch to attend.
