[Avodah] Reish Lakish

[JRich at Sibson.com]

This addressed his "as well as", but RJR raises a good point.

It seemed obvious to me that different people find this "eilu" vs that"eilu" because of their own lives and kishronos. However, take thisidea to far and one ends up with the heresy of the Historical School --that Torah is created by personal need and expediency.

Saying personal negius would determine which aspect of amitah shel Torahone most readily sees is different than saying that the negius /replace/the search for emes. But drawing the line between them is non-trivial.

iirc R" HS has said that to say that R'YBSs and the S'Rs positions on the heter mchira were related to their positions on zionism is  (i don't remember if he said apikorsus or just wrong)
