  → Blood and Man / Barachi Elizur The Prophecy of the Transgressors / Shalom Rosenberg ← The Two Houses of Israel / Avraham Tefilinsky 20 June Published by  the 'Shabbat' editorial team In contrast to the Hungarian poskim who teach halakha from the words of the poskim, the students of the Chazon Ish argued that only in-depth study of Talmudic scholarship enables one to make a ruling. On contemporary methods of ruling in the Ashkenazi ultra-Orthodox world Before the Holocaust, there was no situation in which a community would appoint a rabbi who was not authorized to teach by one of the great rabbis of the generation who was authorized to do so. From a study of the books of the Poskim, it appears that the need for authorization began as an ancient regulation in European countries. The reason for the regulation was for two reasons: first, so that they would truly know that he was worthy of teaching and that a situation would not arise in which a person who was not worthy of tea...

(click to enlarge) Rabbi Belsky, שליט"א: Not that what I do or say matters any after what other have called you in the last few years, but this is a new angle, and I'll explore it here. After what I read in the above article in this week's  Mishpacha  it's plain to see that you're like a 14-year old little  bachur  when it comes to Lubavitch, and I feel bad for our generation if these are our leaders.
