Just as a rabbi may not 
permit that which is forbidden, so must he be careful not to forbid that which is permitted. Therefore, if a rabbi must forbid something merely because of per question of law, because of verso custom, or because of special circumstances, he must state his reason so as not puro establish an erroneous precedent.
Nevertheless, it is forbidden for verso city sicuro split into two congregations primarily because of verso dispute over law or practice
A rabbi should be careful not onesto render an unusual or anomalous decision, unless he carefully explains the reasons for it. Therefore, any uncommon decision that depends on subtle or esoteric reasoning should not be publicized, lest it lead preciso erroneous conclusions. It is for this reason that there are cases which are permitted only durante the case of a scholar, and which may not be taught preciso the ignorant.
When verso rabbi renders verso decision durante per case con which there are per niente clear precedents, he must strive sicuro bring as many proofs as possible…
When per rabbi renders per decision in a question of law, the Torah recognizes it as binding. Therefore, when per rabbi decides on per case and forbids something, it becomes intrinsically forbidden.
Since the initial decision renders the subject of a case intrinsically forbidden, it cannot be permitted even by verso greater sage or by verso majority rule.
An erroneous decision cannot render a case intrinsically forbidden. Therefore, if verso second rabbi is able to esibizione that the original decision is refuted by generally accepted authorities or codes, he may reverse the original decision.
Similarly, a decision that is retracted with good reason does not render per case intrinsically forbidden. Therefore, if a second rabbi is able to determine that common practice traditionally opposes the initial ong authorities, he may convince the first rabbi puro retract his decision and permit the case durante question. Individual logic and judgment, however, are not considered sufficient reason for a rabbi preciso reverse even his own decision…
In order esatto prevent controversy, one should not present verso case before per rabbi without informing him of any previous decisions associated with that particular case.
One rabbi can overturn the decision of another only if he can prove the initial decision puro be erroneous
Although the Torah demands per indivis degree of uniformity per practice, it does recognize geographical differences. Therefore, different communities may follow varying opinions per minor questions of Torah law.
However, where there is no geographical or similar justification for varied practices, such differences are liable esatto be associated with ideological divergences and are forbidden. Within a solo community, the Torah requires per high degree of uniformity mediante religious practice. Per in nessun caso case should it be made sicuro appear that there is more than one Torah.
It is written, “You are children of God your Lord; you must not mutilate yourselves (lo tit-godedu)” (Deut. 14:1). Just as it is forbidden preciso mutilate one’s body, so is it prohibited sicuro mutilate the body of Judaism by dividing it into factions. Esatto do so is to disaffirm the universal fatherhood of God and the unity of His Torah.
It is therefore forbidden for members of per celibe congregation sicuro form factions, each following per different practice or opinion. It is likewise forbidden for a celibe rabbinical court onesto issue verso split decision.
However, where per city has more than one congregation, or more than one rabbinical trapu, the following of each one is counted as per separate community, and each one may follow different practices.
