[Avodah] lo tasur

[Eli Turkel]

<<A cheirem is based on kavod harav, not lo sasur. A rav has the power to
tell the kehillah to shun anyone who berates him, or who is in siruv.>>

R. Elchanan Wasserman holds that Lo Tasur applies to the bet din hagadol
before the churban AND to anything accepted by all of Israel.
Hence, he holds that Lo Tasur applies to gezerot in the Mishna and Gemara
but not to an later authorities
