Description
What YU provides that is special. The ways R' Yosef Eliyahu Henkin supported Torah. His difficulty with Jewish life in America. His עדות לישראל. P. 166: Chazan must be observant. Make this announcement: There will be Arvit after Neilah. Renting dance halls & movie theaters for davening. A Rav must first be a posek, if possible, a dayan, only then a darshan. Conservative Movement's apology of December 2025 on intermarriage. P. 167: Anonymity when using the telephone for psak is forbidden. Posek must know the questioner, especially for a de-Rabanan question. R' Aviner. R' Feinstein as posek. Karlin-Stolin Rebbe permits smartphone. Mishneh Halakhot (MH) 14:163: Individual who relies on computer for psak. Questioner: R' Nisim Karelitz. MH: Use of strong language for ban on computer for psak especially for Nidah questions. R' Yosef Klausner's Semichah. Devar Avraham: The civil marriage question needs a gathering of poskim. MH: Use of computer requires a convention of poskim to ban it. Use of קיצור שולחן ערוך is bad. A posek must have שימוש. Texts are not enough. One who has ability must not refuse to be a posek. But also, he must understand his ability & limitations.
