Description

Methodology of Psak (Yeshivat Har Etzion): Do poskim only decide the theoretical Halacha, or are they the arbiters of reality? Does this open room for non-poskim to decide how halacha will be decided? Can there be a machloket about metziut? Psychological and social reality? Is every claim that seems to be about reality actually about reality and not law?
