“I meant to say since there isnt a Sanhedrin and wont be until Moshiach comes. How are you supposed to have a Torah Society? …
If you mean the latter, then until Moshiach comes, we have to take a more lenient approach, while allowing individuals to be as stringent as their opinions or those of their poskim tell the to be.”
Precisely.
An example would be even though the Ashkenazi poskim held that the concept that Ethiopians should be considered jews was weak, they held their peace when R’ Ovadia Yosef ruled otherwise.
Nevertheless, as Menachem Begin responded when there was a demand to ammend the Conversion Law, that conversion is Halacha which belongs to the realm of Poskim.
(Begin in his straightfowardness would pass over the heads of Mizrachi to discuss religious questions with the gedolim of the chareidi world.)
