[Avodah] submission to an authority

[Joseph Kaplan via Avodah]

"saul newman asked:

: is it or is it not a tenet of  Orthodoxy  that to be defined as O  one must

: submit to some defined human authority? ...


And RMB answered: "In the realm of halakhah, I think so -- asei lekha rav."

I never thought of asei lecha rav as a tenet or Orthodoxy, just as I don't think of the other part of that phrase - kenei lecha chaver - as a tenet of Orthodoxy. Certainly wise things to do.  But tenets? I don't think so.
