example of this Horaas Shaah might be Rav YB Soloveitchik's stand on
mixed-seating synagogues: That even if one's only opportunity to hear the shofar
is to enter a mixed-seating synagogue, it is better not to go. ("The Sanctity of
the Synagogue", page 115)<<<BR><BR><BR></FONT></DIV></DIV>

<DIV>>>>>></DIV>
<DIV>I don't think that was a hora'as sha'ah. ("Just until everyone
understands that a C congregation is not kosher, we will temporarily suspend
shofar blowing.") I think it was a statement of halacha, that if you hear
a shofar blown by an apikores in a tiflah, you haven't been yotzei the mitzva of
shofar at all. I also think he didn't say "it's better not to go" but
"it's assur to go."</DIV>
