<div>Actually,there is a letter by R. Ganzfried in which he writes that his
system for deciding the halacha in KSA was to look at the Chayei
Adam, Derech HaChaim,and Shulchan Aruch HoRav, and follow the
majority opinion.Btw, R. Ganzfried was a great lamdan, as witness, for
example, his Lechem VeSimlah, in which,as Rav Aharon Soloveichik often pointed
out, he says sevaros in Hilchos Mikvaos that were later said by R. Chaim
Brisker.</div></font></div></blockquote><div><br>Q: And so why did such a Lamdan defer to Chayei Adam et. al.<br>A: IMHO he strived for an objective view of Halachah - as opposed to be using a subjective view. <br><br>Or to put this in a more politcally incorrect way:<br>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">Does the Poseik subject HIMSELF to the Halchah or perhaps vice versa. <br></div></div></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Kol Tuv / Best Regards,<br>RabbiRichWolpoe@Gmail.com<br>see: <a href="http://nishmablog.blogspot.com/">http://nishmablog.blogspot.com/</a><br>
