[Avodah] Maharat

[Micha Berger via Avodah]

As I see it, the question WRT hora'ah is whether we follow the Rama's
lead and hold like the Mahariq, or  the Birkei Yoseif CM 7:12 a
viable shitah -- and then, does "viable" mean "advisable"? (We aren't
heter shopping, after all.)

The Birkei Yoseif says
    Af de'ishah besulah ladun,
    mikol maqom ishah chokhmah yekholah lehoros hora'ah
basing himself on one of the opinions in Tosafos (Yevamos 45b "mi",
Gittin 88b, ve'od) about what it means that "Devorah melamedes lahem
dinim". (Devodah vs. ishah asurah ladun is the topic of 11.)

It seem to me that "melameid lahem dinim" is a different use of the word
"hora'ah" than the SA is using in YD. And thus it seems to me that Birkei
Yoseif would explicitly permit a yo'etzet, who is teaching established
halakhah and defering questions that require shiqul hada'as to a rav. But
he is not describing hora'ah as assumed in a Maharat's heter hora'ah
lerabbim and the YD 242 sense of magi'ah lehora'ah and who needs such
a heter when he does.

Tir'u baTov!
