[Avodah] Fwd: RMF Mattir Neder Gebrochts

[Rabbi Meir G. Rabi via Avodah]

in response to David Riceman's suggestion -  extra-halachic behaviour is
likely to require Hatarah whilst those that have a Halachic foundation
require a Pesak

consider this:

if there is no Halachic foundation for a Minhag then it will never require
Hatarah, it is an error. The custom to sniff snuff in Shule on Shabbos can
never gain status of a Minhag that requires Hatarah

if there is some Halachic foundation then notwithstanding it not being
recognised as binding Halacha, if it is adopted as a custom it may well
require Hatarah if one wishes to abandon the custom

Therefore since we have yet to see any practical/Halachic foundation of
there being a risk that wet Matzos may become Chamets, the Minhag of
Gebrochts is no different to the Paroches being blue or maroon and
suggesting that it may not be black or bright red or pink [the illustration
given by R H Schachter responding to the suggestion that there is in force
a Minhag not to eat these days soft Matza during Pesach]
