katan > Oaths are brought down as halacha throughout the millenia, including by the Rambam himself
First, out of respect to your opinion, I am suggesting you doing hatarat nedorim. Let’s think of Rambam being here. We already discussed that he might first go to MIT to learn astronomy before applying to Lakewood. But he would surely look at the political situation right now and develop his opinions accordingly.
We also saw in multiple threads, that modern halocha often rejects idealistic Rambam’s positions, like a need to work and not take charity from Jews and non-Jews – because people in our days are not capable of following this. So, when Rambam sees medinat Yisrael supporting so many yeshiva students – do you think he will tell those students to quit, or will he support the medinah? How is that for a dimemma?
