In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with the Silver Spring Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Aaron Lopiansky Shlita, for a deep and insightful conversation.

We explore the essence of mesorah, how to properly choose a Rebbe or Rov, and the distinction between psak halacha and hadracha. The conversation then turns to one of the most frequently misunderstood concepts in the Torah world: Da’as Torah. Rabbi Lopiansky clarifies what it truly means, what it does not mean, and how it should be applied in our daily lives.

We also discuss real-world applications, including contemporary issues like the WZO, Kol Koreis, and the role of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah. Rabbi Lopiansky’s wisdom and clarity offer invaluable guidance for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of these crucial topics.
