Description

Methodology of Psak Halacha (Yeshivat Har Etion): While not directly related to the series, it touches on many important philosophical points. Why is it justifiable ever to uproot the Torah, even temporarily? What does that tell us about the nature of Halacha? What are the parameters of this mechanism? It also covers the related issue of bal tosif. This is the eighteenth shiur in the series.
