Halacha and Minhagim
Question
If a person today decides to consistently follow the halachic rulings of Beit Shammai and Rabbi Eliezer in practice, is his religious service (avodah) considered valid, or is it completely forbidden (assur)?
Answer
Thank you for your question.
We have to keep the halacha as it is written in the Shulchan Aruch, and according to one’s minhagim.
Wishing you well.
