Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
That was a story from the Talmud, I didnt make it up neither did the Rav in the lecture, its not to taken at face value but to show the severity of this and to instill in us this Yirat Hashe-m (fear of heaven). Thats why I said wait for the video to hear the whole thing.
 Anyway I allready posted the link to the Halacha, that is a Halahic site, and the author of the Shulhan Aruh (Code of Jewish Law) writes that its not allowed from the Rambam. - click on it and listin to the audio- very short).
 Ill get back to you later some time, imm too tired from the turkey.

jdl4ever:
I read some of the S.A. and to my knowledge the Shulchan Aruch never writes where he got his Halachot from in the text.  Some sources are added in brackets to the text.  I am not sure if this was added at a later date or added by the author himself, so if you got this from these brackets then I would question if the S.A. was really the one who wrote it and say that it was a mistake since the Rambam says the opposite. 

I am waiting for the story in the Talmud, but you can't necessarily bring proof from the actions in these stories without analyzing them carefully and seeing if they contradict the Torah as sometimes the Rabbi makes a mistake in the story (R' Shimon Bar Yochai and the cave for an example) and other times the story isn't even real but is where hidden things of the Torah are put. 

Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
Anyway do you live in Queens? If you do then come to this Rav's lecture- you can ask all of these questions and he is a very reliable and great Rav who will answer you.(its a diff. Rav then from this lecture, but actually you can ask this Rav also, but probably after the lecture and not during it).

Let me know.

jdl4ever:
I don't understand.  I only ask Rabbis questions on things I don't know.  I know what the Rambam says and I know what your Rabbis opinion is on touching girls, which I don't follow having a different tradition than he does.  I do live in Queens by the way.   

jdl4ever:
We've discussed this already.  According to R' Kahane Zs'l the Torah was meant for us to study it and to absorb it ourselves, not to not know anything and to run to Rabbis like blind sheep on every trivial matter without understanding the basics of the Torah.  This causes the Rabbis to no longer be Rabbis since they know the populace will blindly follow whatever they say so they will no longer be well versed at the Torah or follow it strictly since no one will know the difference.  The Rav said only ask Rabbis questions on things that you don't know for yourself and when you do ask him you shouldn't settle for a yes or no answer but if you don't agree the Rabbi must prove his opinion to you on questioning or if he is unable to do so admit that he was wrong.  The Rambam's opinion is clear cut and I don't need a Rabbis opinion on this, especially a Rabbi who doesn't follow my tradition.  Even theoretically if he is a good Rabbi and I was not sure on this issue, you don't ask Rabbis about things that you know follow a different tradition than you on that area you are asking them a question on.  If you want to follow the Shulchan Aruch than that is your right, especially if your tradition is in line with what he writes.

Make Yourself A Rav:  Got a dead one, R' Kahane Zs'l.  Got a living one as well but because he doesn't follow my traditions the situation is more complicated than you are making it out to be and I am allowed to not follow him on areas where the traditions don't match or if he says things against the Torah (which this one does do as he's Satmur).
