wow- I am not sure that I want to enter this discussion- but I’d

like to ask ohr chodesh specifically and the others who think like him- do you truly believe that every word of a Rov is infallible? No one can make a mistake? Moshe rabbeinu, dovid hamelech, rabbi Akiva, the ones who oppose ther Rambam, the rabbonim who supported Shabsai zvi(there were many!), the followers of the Gro who put all chassidim in cherem….the list is long…our faith does NOT accept infallibility and does not even accept a sign from heavens ! (R’Eliezer did not win his debate with the chachomim….in spite of shomayim being on his side !)It is up to us- as human beings- to evaluate our chachomim. Even in halacha, there is no infallibity, let alone in “milei de’alma”.

I don’t want to re-fight the arguments about the Holocaust and the medinah- but clearly, the gedolim who directly dissuaded people in Europe to flee were wrong, and the gedolim who continue to fight the medina will end up on the wrong side of history. (they already are) ‘Ein tsaddik bo-oretz asher lo jechto”
