[Avodah] Dancing on Shabbos - Redux

[Richard Wolpoe]

In case my earlier postings did not emphasize this:
Both from the wording of the Rema and from RMF in the aforementioned IM
[which no one has seemed to consult --smile--] It LOOKS like the heter here
is in the realm of: "Well frum people do it so it MSUT be ok."  To me that
is a flimsy post facto rationale that has a very slippery slope and is
easily exploited.

Now if a  person were to  say I ALWAYS follow Tosafos beshita, then I would
be more forgiving.  In fact, RMF is puzzled about how anyone can use this
heter!  I would hav asnwered him that  they are simply relying upon Tosafos
of course.  It would seem that RMF never heard of people who follow Tosafos
beshita, and so how can one follow a SHVER Tosafos.  I challenge all readers
to see RMF's own rationale.


Tangentially, there are  SHVER Rema's tha I do not follow [e.g bass shema
azlinan wrt min bemino]  In Choshen Mishpat 25 a specific P'sak froom a
Posiek CAN be rejected by world-famous [bavusta] kashas. Certainly the
Shach's kasha on the Rema here is a case on point.  And for the same reason
- I am not in favor of following SHVER Rambam's either, nevertheless some
consider RAMBAM somehow infallible.
