The Authority of the Posek 1
from Semikha Program - Torah Ve-Ahava · host Rabbi Haim Ovadia
This is the first session of a course which will explore the tools at the Posek's disposal. We start with an analysis of Rabbinical sources which show that in every generation, the posek must address current problems and not be helplessly bound by past rulings. Those rulings must be studies and understood, but the posek has the authority to challenge them. This is supported by many statements in the Mishnah and Talmud which are often neglected or distorted.
