[Avodah] Da'at Torah

[Rich, Joel]

RTK's very clear explanation of what she believes da'at (or daas, if you
like) Torah is leaves open one issue:  once you ask advice on a personal
matter, or a community representative asks advice on a communal matter,
what obligation, if any, does the person asking for the advice have to
follow it?  Is it legitimate to ask for advice, consider it seriously,
and then decide not to follow it?

====================================================================
A more basic question is when does the ratzon hatorah require or suggest
you ask.  IIRC R' Amital points to this need to ask as a more recent
development based on lack of religious self-confidence.
