[Avodah] Responses to Public forums he'arot.

[Shlomo Pick]

In my posting I did not mention yo'atzot because that's what they are
advisors in a format basis. They are accepted and they don't get the
publicity an installation of a maharat gets nor the apparent agenda.

I am not sure whether the other comments in that specific posting were for
or towards me and in any case, I reiterate every posek takes into
consideration meta-halakhic issues such as za'ar, hefsed merubah, etc.  In
any individual case this is there. However, in a public shiur or in public
policy this may be downplayed to set the ground rules of what the pure
halakha demands.

Re: specific rabbi - chaplain issue.  Can't help you there in a specific
issue, but over here if such a problem arouse I had ask to have it referred
further to r. nissim karelitz or rav wohzner.  Unless these rabbis were
involved in the psak to begin with, you can get your opposite number to
consider such a review.

The two times mentioned are mandated by the posekim as I noted, just if you
are meikal (or do shurat hadin) for shekiyah, they all say that Kiddush
should be after leilah mamash (kaf hachayim and aruch hashulchan).

Re: > I'm missing something: How many people read Hebrew halachic journals
who wouldn't read IM? Are you sure he meant journals rather than popularist
magazines? If so, please explain.

Although an American may find the IM easier than a Hebrew (especially
Israeli) halakhic journal, I would agree that popular magazines may be
meant, or perhaps English language journals.  In this specific case, it
makes no difference, Avodah list and areivim list would be off limits
according to RMF.

I am a slight disadvantage in that I live in Israel and while the mail is
still buzzing until sunset EST, here I'm well into my shabbos nite sleep, so
that  I cannot answer immediately to any points. I do want to thank the
editors who have kavod habriyot in mind when reviewing a posting and in the
heat of an argument one may be (although he shouldn't be) lax in responding.
