Chazal say that Chochme b’goyim taamin. You should believe that goyim have chochme, knowledge, expertise. One thing I learned from goyim is that what colleges generally term “core subjects” are those college subjects which should make a person into a “well-rounded” individual. That means they should be able to make educated decisions based on their studies. A bochur goes through 12 years of study before bais medrash or yeshiva gedola learning. Generally he’ll go through at least 4 more post high school learning, possibly also a semicha program. Can anyone please explain to me why such a yungerman needs to ask a rov the question about a tablecloth on succos? There are many seforim today, both in Hebrew and English, which will give you quite clear directions concerning almost every din and minhag. Hey guys, neisei sefer v’nechse, pull out a sefer and do some research. We aren’t talking here about big time shaylos of married couples or isur achilos. All you guys who made up long pilpulim about all sorts of sugyos in shas, go look up the easy stuff yourself.
