Choppy
Some food for thought.
Who is Daas Torah today?
Would you reject the Mizrachi rabbonim who do work within the system and have Yeshivahs where the boys do go to the army?
I am not a Mizrachi person but I do admire what they do.
Does that make me an apikorus?
In my mind, in today’s fractured environment Daas Torah is your local Rov who you respect and go to for day to day issues.
In times gone past when there was a central rabbinic authority within a community they were Daas Torah and they were the voice for issues great and small.Not so in today’s world.
