The idea that each local issue has to be referred quickly to a Gadol in Israel who is unaware of special circumstances and facts on the ground is wrong and dangerous. Issues can framed to the distant Gedolim in a distorted way by design, to get a desired response. The Gedolim themselves are often very elderly and unable to devote enough time to these things that don't even belong in their court. This disintermediation also stifles the natural generational growth of new halachic leadership.RAMnoreply@blogger.com
