mention yo’atzot because that’s what they are advisors in a format
basis. They are accepted and they don’t get the publicity an installation
of a maharat gets nor the apparent agenda.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I am not sure whether the
other comments in that specific posting were for or towards me and in any case,
I reiterate every posek takes into consideration meta-halakhic issues such as
za’ar, hefsed merubah, etc. In any individual case this is there. However,
in a public shiur or in public policy this may be downplayed to set the ground rules
of what the pure halakha demands.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Re: specific rabbi –
chaplain issue. Can’t help you there in a specific issue, but over here
if such a problem arouse I had ask to have it referred further to r. nissim
karelitz or rav wohzner. Unless these rabbis were involved in the psak to
begin with, you can get your opposite number to consider such a review.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The two times mentioned
are mandated by the posekim as I noted, just if you are meikal (or do shurat
hadin) for shekiyah, they all say that Kiddush should be after leilah mamash
(kaf hachayim and aruch hashulchan).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I'm missing something: How many people read Hebrew halachic journals who
wouldn't read IM? Are you sure he meant journals rather than popularist
magazines? If so, please explain.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Although an American may
find the IM easier than a Hebrew (especially Israeli) halakhic journal, I would
agree that popular magazines may be meant, or perhaps English language
journals. In this specific case, it makes no difference, Avodah list and
areivim list would be off limits according to RMF.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

and while the mail is still buzzing until sunset EST, here I’m well into
my shabbos nite sleep, so that I cannot answer immediately to any points. I do
want to thank the editors who have kavod habriyot in mind when reviewing a
posting and in the heat of an argument one may be (although he shouldn’t
be) lax in responding.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
