It USED TO go without saying

OU BOARD ISSUES STATEMENT ON FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICES
http://www.ou.org/general_article/ou_board_issues_statement_on_friday_night_services

The Bet Yosef [YD 1:1] says "Lo ra'inu eino raya". IOW, that absent a specific probition, that none ought be inferred

Yet WADR to R Yosef Karo, certain positions used to be so SELF-UNDERSTOOD, they were in the "ein tzarich lomar" cateogry, and needed no declaration, until that need arose later on.

And so we have arrived at that day when such a declaration IS needed.

Shalom
RRW
