One further thing, if I may.
The purpose of proclaiming to one and all that Nasi has the backing of Roshei Yeshivah and other gedolim would be to give it the authority and imprimatur of daas Torah, that the work which Nasi is doing is in line with our Torah way of life.
Oib azoi, since when are true gedolim afraid of saying this is the Torah view? Since when do gedolim take into account ‘mah yomru habaalei battim’?
Mimoh nafshoch: if they are coming altz daas Torah, let them say it loud and let them say it proud. If they are coming as laymen commenting on an issue without a clear Torah imperative one way or another, then their opinions are worth as much as mine and yours. Dos meint- gornisht.
