Description
Based on the sefer Toras Ha'Ro'eh by R' Areleh Har'el. P188. Rav Kook's attempt to resolve the disagreement between the Rambam and the Raivad regarding the holiness of Har HaBayis (the place of the Beis HaMikdash). Ezra's intention during the construction of the 2nd Beis HaMikdash. Explaining how halachah (Jewish law) can possibly be decided based on "spiritual events" - ruach hakodesh, and how was halachah ultimately decided in favor of Beis Hillel? Who is qualified to give testimony or provide additional evidence, and to what degree is such evidence accepted? What is the purpose - in halachah - of these divine revelations. The "bas kol" (voice from Heaven) as an additional component to strengthen a view - how "strong" is it? Yet, the first Beis HaMikdash was built upon the foundation of nevuah (prophecy). The specific domain of prophecy. When it comes to the Beis HaMikdash, Torah IS "bashamayim" (in the hands of Heaven). The rules about changing halacha based on divine revelations.
