How does a Rabbi weigh his responsibility to Jewish law, to the sensitivities of the people involved. Difficult questions are usually never black and white.
We discuss intricate questions asked to Sephardic and Ashkanazi Rabbis of current and past generations and their responses. What was the philosophy behind their answers? Why were concessions made in special situations?
