There’s a chapter in “Inside Their Homes” on the Goral haGRA (which
predates the GRA, and it is unclear how it came to be called that).
The Goral is clearly acknowledged and used by gedolim (and is
more involved than opening a Tanach at random, HaLeiVi).


Reb Moshe in Igros Moshe O”CH 6:2 says something interesting. A woman according to the Rabbenu Taam can make a brocho on a time dependent mitzva, but not an eved because he does not have a
קדושת ישראל. It looks like a woman does but not as great as a man that is why she is exempt from time dependent commandments.

Are you quoting Reb Moshe as saying that women have a lesser degree of
kedushas Yisroel, or are you saying that that is what appears to you
to be the case from what Reb Moshe wrote?

as long that you want to create nachas ruach to Hashem with your service.
… The importance is not the means but the end

Not when those means are contradictory to Hashem’s stated will.
