Bamorga: Chazal told us what to do about the Goy. Chazal had Goyim in their own Sukkos. But I guess you are more sensitive to the “hidden Issurim” of Torah than Chazal were. And it’s our job to understand Chazal and Mesorah, not to invent new ones. Everything is found in Torah. Are you really so arrogant to think that you have found an Issur that Chazal and all the Rishonim missed? Your idea abrogates Mesorah entirely. Why look at what the Halachah is? We should just try and figure out what Chazal wanted us to do on our own because of course they couldn’t tell us? It’s arrogance, it’s denying our Mesorah, and it’s pure Apikorsus.

WIY: Lulav being M’ratzeh for the Ruchos is in Nigleh too. Look, we have a tradition that when Nigleh contradicts Nistar we have to Pasken like the Nigleh. The basic explanation that I have from my Rebbeim is that Nistar explains and complements the Nigleh. But all of Halachah is found in Nigleh. In fact, I was once told by a huge and well-respected Talmid Chacham not to worry if I ever found that Nigleh contradicted Nistar. The reason we Pasken by Nigleh is that all of our Nistar is based off Shittas R’ Shimon, so if there’s ever a contradiction it’s just that we don’t hold by R’ Shimon in that matter but that the other Tannaim also had Nistar to explain their Shittos as well. But Halachah L’ma’aseh, Ein Lanu Eisek B’nistaros.

I am calling troll on this entire thread, by the way. I just noticed that the same person began the thread with a question and now all of a sudden has a clarity on it like it’s a Halachah L’moshe Misinai. I’m not sure why this poster decided to push this random agenda, but I’m calling troll.
