How this is formulated, I am not sure, but certain things, eg women's education was decided by the people, and when it reached the tipping point, gained halachic legitimacy. Same goes with forbidding smoking; same goes with Zionism or the concept of a Jewish state, an army, etc etc.Ben MIkrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07122937371918515052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-72482959448998283682011-04-14T21:28:15.050+03:002011-04-14T21:28:15.050+03:00Can you tell us something about Rabbi Shlomo Fishe...Can you tell us something about Rabbi Shlomo Fisher?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
