Combining Lamdut with P'saq..
In my dreams - If I had a Billion Dollars, I'd start an Institute for Practical Halachah. I would cover Halachah p'suqah across the spectrum of the 4 Turim plus.
Meanwhile what to do with the existing Educational Structure?
Actually, little needs to be done to address my dichotomy of Rosh Yeshiva [RY] vs. Poseiq
The Yeshiva System is already geared more towards producing Roshei Yeshivah. To Produce posqim one needs Three elements
Shimush! Shimush, and More Shimush!
Book learning could be guided by a mentor, but one cannot learn a hands-on skill from a book anymore than once could learn Sh'chitah or Milah [strictly] from a book
The Yeshiva Gedolah in Teaneck had a program of learning Talmud in the morning and then Tur Beth Yosef in the afternoon on the same subject; EG Niddah or Ezehu Nesech. [I'm not sure this is still in place but this is. Great Idea to produce those who can bridge the gap between P'saq and Lamdut. "Switch Hitters"]
Besides Shimush the givens are that:
A GREAT Poseiq would still need to be well-versed in Shas and posqim
A Middle Level Poseiq could master Tur and Beth Yosef and be highly effective
An ordinary Poseiq would need to know practical Halacaha well and would be on-track towards greatness or need to consult those who are greater for anything above the ordinary
Next stop - whom does one consult?
Shalom
