<div dir="ltr">I saw recently the following machloket about the validity of sevara<div><br></div><div>1) Pnei Yehishua (Berakhot 35a) & Tosafot R. Yehuda Berakhot 35a - sevara has the force of a Torah law</div><div>2) Noda BeYehida (Tzlach) sevara is from the Torah only when the gemara uses the phrase - "lama li Kra sevara hih)</div>
<div>3) Sdei Chemed sevara alimta (everyone agrees to it) eg when the gemara says so then it is from the Torah but sevara lo alimta where some argue does not have the force of a Torah law<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br>
