Collections: Rabbi Ziring The Role of Baal HaBatim in Psak

Description

Methodology of Psak (Yeshivat Har Etzion): Building on the previous shiur where we explored the extent to which poskim "poskan" on reality, we dealt with how this manifests itself in medical questions. Does the posek determine the theoretical halacha and leave the practical issues to the doctor? Does the posek have a role in determining the reality? What about the patient? What was considered medical knowledge classically and now?
