Thsi kind of artgumentation is beyond slippery slope. It is pandroa's box
time. every humran ad every kula can override every halacha with such a
methodology E.g. The nthere can NEVER be a to'eh bidvar hamishna becaesu
Retzon haroei trumps all!  Shades of Nadav and Avinhu and the hamishim
umassyim ish.   Do for the sake of hasehm EVEN if it is not within Halachic
parameteres!



Vritaully no Rishon brought in any kabbalh into psak. and generally kept out
Midrash, too - [except for Minhag.]  See e.g. Noda bihuda re: Sandek at a
bris in which he states explicitly re: the Rema/Maahril's use of a Midrash
based Minhag that he deos not discuss anything if it is not Talmudic.   Now
the  GRA claims the Midrash is a red-herring and that the source is the
Sefear hassidim Furthermore Rav Schwab rejeected Sefer Hassidim as a Halchic
source althoug hI am confident that it was written to convery Retzon habore.

And for that matter, virtually every devittn and anti-nomian sect has made
the same agrument about Halachah. This is the early [and rejected]
anti-nomian Hassidic notion that to daven later is better than to follwo the
zmanim in massechet Brachots  And in fact a very simlar argument is in
Matthew re: netillas Yadayim that "you Pharisees follow your elders instead
of the Will of G-d."  Ayein sham  [ch. 15 iirc]

I'm sure Reform would claim that they saved Jews from Baptism. and I
persaonlly know a C rabbi that hammers away every year that if we only
dropped Kitniyyos more people would observe the laws of Passover.   If
minhag avos wer REALLY dea, why NOT drop Kitniyos? Why NOT throw out all
rules based upon al titosh Toras Imecha for the greater Retzon HKBH?

I know a C rabbi who advocates that all kaorbanos should be thrown out
entirely because the nevi'im railed against it. He claims THAT is the Retzon
haborei, lama li rov vicheichem!
