Reply To: About the RCA, I do shudder.

Halacha is encapsulated in the Shulchan Aruch. How to conduct your life as a jew is hazier (must you wear a black hat? Must I follow my view as to drafting all jews ?) I do not agree with you that the Rabbonim konw all the time what would be the Torah way. Do you follow the way of RSR Hirsch? Or, do you follow the way of the Hungarian rabbonim (firmly against limudei chol)?Do you follow the way of Rav Kook or do you follow the way of the Neturei Karta? The mishneh says “ashe lecho rav”- you can choose who your mentor is. Allow every Jew to have that choice and do not denigrate others who do not view the world as you do.

Of course; I agree with that; everyone agrees with that. I thought you were saying it is something which is beyond the purview of rabbonim at all, like if I should eat stawberry or vanilla yogurt.

In fact, the only thing I disagree with you is that what you say applies also to halacha.
