DaMoshe > Only after confronting the Rav with the opposing view, and he stands by what he said, are you required to listen.
There is even a halocha how you approach your teacher if you think he made a mistake – you ask him a polite question. You can’t have this halocha if the teacher is always right!
@DaMoshe: Where is this Riva? Where is this Ramban? Where is this Rambam? Who questions the Sifre?
The Rambam, if I recall correctly, is in the introduction to the second chelek of Moreh Nevuchim. The Yerushalmi is at the beginning of Horayos. I’m not sure where the Riva is – I saw it quoted in a few places, but it didn’t say exactly where it’s from. It does say it’s in response to Rashi’s quoting the Sifrei, so maybe look on that posuk?
The Ramban is on Devarim 17, and while he does say we need to listen even if it’s wrong, he qualifies that this is only for the Sanhedrin.If your Rav was chosen only cuz he knows “halacha” and not because he was “wise and understanding” his views are moot. And irrelevant.
@DaMoshe, the introduction to the second chelek of Moreh Nevuchim consists of 26 philosophical tenets, which have nothing to do with this.
Thank you for helping me find the Riva. It’s quoted in the edition of דעת זקנים לבעלי התוס printed in Offen in 1834.
If the Ramban quotes the Sifrei but limits it to the Great Sanhedrin, what makes you think he is arguing with Rashi?
And does anyone actually argue with the Sifrei?
