[Avodah] D'rabanan vs. D'oraita

[Rich, Joel]

That doesn't help the guy who checked the mezuzah when he was supposed
to but because kelapai Shemaya galya that it's pasul, he gets less
shemirah. Unless one goes beyond the Ran and says that listening to the
chakhamim not only protects, but also provides metaphysical effects.

Tir'u baTov!

=========================================
That's pretty much the way I've explained it but it's only based on my
own (very limited) logic - that is, that halachik reality is
determinative of existential and practical reality, and that halachik
reality is "kdaat moshe vyisrael" - i.e. halacha as we understand it
(not as bashamayim) is determinative.  Now, what happens if Rabbi X says
kosher and Y says treif & followers of each eat from the same pot - I
suppose the effect (here and bashamayim) is different even though  the
molecules are the same.
