From Bokortoam, Florida, this is Behind the Bima.

On this bonus episode, Rabbi Goldberg is joined by Raverschel Schechter, his Rebbe, and talks to him about what it means to be a halakhic man.

It's an enormous host. It's a great privilege and pleasure once again to have the opportunity to have a conversation with Morye Varabi, with Ravshekter Shlita.

And we're so grateful to Rebbe for this opportunity and for this time and to have a conversation with Mori Varaabe, with Ravshecht of Shlita. And we're so grateful to Rebbe for this opportunity and for this time, and to have a conversation

that I think so many people would be curious about, that can be both instructive for how we live

our lives and asking Shailas and getting Psiq and following a certain Masorah of halacha,

and to also understand behind the scenes the mind of a

posseq and what goes through the process of trying to answer a Shaila and serving in that role.

Ravshecht is not only Rush Yeshiva, Rebbe at Yashivistur-Bitka-Khanan at Yiu,

but Rebbe is also a possek of the OU.

Rebbe is a possek of Kla Yisrael, who receives calls from around the world on a regular basis. And Klau Yisor benefited, I personally, we all benefited from Rebis Hadracha, Rabbi's direction, Rabbi's Psiq, throughout the whole corona pandemic. The Shailas that came out, the Chuvas that came out, that gave us clear, concise, relatable,

real directions on what we should be doing communally, and for different Yom and Tovim,

and in our own personal, and our own practical lives.

And I know that even those who had not considered themselves Talmudim students of Rebbe

previously from different segments of the Torah of the

Orthodox world read and learned and followed those Piscay al-Ha and found them

to be invaluable and among the many reasons we are so grateful and indebted to

Rebbe was Rebbe's tremendous hard work during that period and now to continue to

give us guidance in that area and more so it's an honor to have this opportunity to have this conversation about the system of halacha and the system of psalak. So Paskanin' halakha means original shaylars that come up. Maybe during corona as an example or medical ethics or technologies changing, discoveries, innovation. So there's original psalak. But then sometimes there's a maklokas in halakha, and a person is not necessarily pascaning, but they're choosing between two different psalcum that exists. So for example, can you open cans on Shabbas? A person learns the Suggia, and a person looks inside and sees Rishlmah and how this way, and Meshire this way. The Khazan isha this way. Can they decide which one makes more sense to them?

I learned the Suggia. I see it's a machlokas of the post-kim. And the argument that this one made

resonates more for me. I think it's more correct. So I'm going to open cans or I'll choose not to open cans.

It's not an original psalk someone's making. They're taking the existing Psockim
