Reply To: Mesora

So it boils down to the idea that mesora, is just whatever your kehila or community does today. When someone joins skver, i don’t think they ask “das torah” to switch, they just ntaurally switch bec they are a skvera. It seems like this concept that we doing what our fathers did and thats why mesopra is important, is not really true. Its also intertesing that the community itself adapts and changes. Even the community doesn’t do what its zeidas in that community did 100 years ago. Take vein as an example davening sefard and no eating machine matzas. Its very hard to wrap my mind aroudn what makes mesora so special?
