Question
When the sages say some obligation, such as "a person must say, when will my deeds reach the deeds of my forefathers" and the like, is this an obligation from a halachic perspective?
Answer
Hello,
There are instances where this expression is used, and it is an obligation. There are other instances where it is a virtue and a matter, not an obligation.
You can see in the words of the poskim if they brought this to halacha.
