[Avodah] R' Baruch Ber Leibovitch (Prof. Levine)

[Rich, Joel]

This is not something to be happy about. This is more along the lines of es
laasos lashem heiferu torasecha. The rabbanim has to make a very difficult
decision to violate the Halacha in order to save the next generation. This
was not uncommon in America of that time. Young Israel's sponsored mixed
dances for the same reasons. However, now that the Torah community is much
stronger they are trying to go back to the strict Halacha.
_______________________________________________
Yet we celebrate the Talmud which required the Rabbis to make a similar es
laasos lashem heiferu torasecha and never seem to have said now that the Torah community is much stronger they should try  to go back to the strict Halacha.
