For a start they come up with 'daas tora' something unheard of before our generation, its either written in the Torah or it isnt. One cant make up ones own. It also says they have to know seventy languages, whatever for if they can always ask their experts? I say these gedolim should leave it for those who know English to give an opinion. And when giving an opinion it should be with full chapter and verse. It says god went down to s'dom to have a look, not because he cant see from heaven but to teach us that a dayan has to see for himself before paskening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-47079240123083464582010-08-27T11:10:39.824-04:002010-08-27T11:10:39.824-04:00I would like to say that the change is we used to ...I would like to say that the change is we used to trust that those who speak in the name of a Gadol were honest enough and considered Torah true Jews enough that they wouldn't dare put their own spin on the Gadol's words.<br /><br />However, historical reference to letters sent about the Rambam's works by askanim in France would seem to demonstrate that this is nothing new.<br /><br />At best the difference is the quantity of such occurances and the level of distribution of such manipulated pronouncements.Akivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13042484533217272945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-8446616492799836872010-08-27T11:03:29.049-04:002010-08-27T11:03:29.049-04:00>Maybe it's time to say: A true Ben Torah f...>Maybe it's time to say: A true Ben Torah follows what a Godol says... when he's heard it directly from the Godol himself, and he didn't tell him to say it, and neither did anyone else.<br /><br />Is what I think you meant?S.http://onthemainline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-65914444939727069812010-08-27T08:26:23.654-04:002010-08-27T08:26:23.654-04:00Maybe it's time to say: A true Ben Torah follo...Maybe it's time to say: A true Ben Torah follows what a Godol says... when he's heard it directly from the Godol himself.Garnel Ironheartnoreply@blogger.com
