I’m not discussing weather or not to ask da’as torah before going to the bathroom or not.
I’m talking about relying on da’as torah in terms of how to view world happenings & yes, even on the issue of leaving Europe before the war.(The da’as torah bashers greatest weapon).
The fact is that often times when someone has been a doctor for a while they develop a sixth sense (or “chush”) to be able to diagnose correctly without performing tests.
The same applies for a mechanic, plumber, appliance repairman etc. etc.
L’havdil, so it is with Gedolim. When someone has spent their entire life immersed in torah – the word of g-d – their thoughts & outlooks become the thoughts & outlooks of torah.
This is not something that needs sources or proofs, this is simple common sense.
As far as many Gedolim advising the people to stay in Europe – maybe just maybe they were right, because that’s what the torah wanted & their minds automatically tuned in to the ratzon hashem.
How could it be that Hashem wanted six million jews to die? I have no idea, but obviously that’s what he wanted (or decreed) ’cause otherwise it would not have happened.
To deny that the outlook of an Adam Gadol (Da’as Torah) is the outlook of the torah is just closing your mind to an obvious reality.
But than how can there be conflicting views? “Shiv’im ponim l’torah”.
Unlike medicine, plumbing, cars etc. etc.
