[Avodah] HaRav Yosef Ber Soloveitchik on Saying Hallel on Yom Ha'Atzma'ut

[Joseph Kaplan]

> RYL posted an excerpt from Hakhel Email Bulletin which quoted comments made by RYBS about saying Hallel on Yom Ha'atzma'ut (he was opposed). HEB implied that RYBS's students were required to follow their rebbe.  However, the excerpt did not quote what RYBS said at the end of that discussion: "Whatever I said, don't consider them as piskei halacha. I am not a posek. It is simply sharing my thoughts with you. If you feel that I am wrong, I wouldn't feel offended.... But it's not piskei halacha, it's not advice, it's not that. It's simply thinking aloud."
