In his acclaimed introduction to the Beit Yosef, Rav Yosef Karo sets down his monumental rules of Pesak, to follow the three Amudei Horaah, the [[Rif]], [[Rambam]], and [[Rosh]], upon whom the entire Jewish nation relies. We are simply incapable of decide for ourselves who is correct from among the dominating figures of the Rishonim. There exist a number of approaches to understanding the Beit Yosef's approach to Halacha and the extent to which it has been accepted among the Jewish people. Such discussions also appear regarding the acceptance of the Arizal's rulings. These are some basic approaches to elaborated on further below.<ref>This overview section is based heavily on the [http://www.otzar.org/wotzar/book.aspx?198570&pageid=19857000527 Darkei Horaah section of Orot HaTahorah], by Rav Zecharia ben Shlomo.

Vechumrei HaMakom</ref> However, in Eretz Yisrael, where the Minhag has been like the Shulchan Aruch, the lack of current Sephardic community following the Shulchan Aruch does not mean that the new Sephardic communities to settle there are independent of its rulings, because '''the Sephardic acceptance of Shulchan Aruch is not a function of Minhag HaMakom or Mara deAtra, which could be lost, but rather, acceptance on the community and all its descendants.''' Therefore, the communities moving to Eretz Yisrael are themselves communities that already live under the banner of Shulchan Aruch, as they have for centuries, and continue to do so. Of course, if they ''never'' accepted the Shulchan Aruch, that's a different story. With respect to the [[Rambam]], however, the acceptance ''was'' a function of Mara deAtra, so the acceptance is not binding on new communities. With the great Kibbutz Galuyot of the past century, it's worthwhile for all those gathering in Eretz Yisrael to accept Minhag Yerushalayim as a unifying force and avoid controversy in the commonly non-uniform communities that now exist.<ref>Rav Chaim David HaLevi (Shu"t Aseh Lecha Rav vol. 7 Siman 4) defending Rav Ovadia (Shu"t Yechave Da'at 1:12) against a question by Rav Avraham Sherman ([http://www.daat.ac.il/daat/kitveyet/niv/yesodot1-2.htm Niv HaMidrashia vol. 18-19 Iyyar 5745]). He continues to point out that the Chazon Ish's illustration (Zeraim, Sheviit 23:5) of the Minhag evolving from the following [[Rambam]], to the Shulchan Aruch, and then to Acharonim is only relevant to Ashkenazim, who dird not accept the Shulchan Aruch's rulings on themselves and their descendants, unlike the Sephardim.</ref> | ||

The self state methodology of Rav Yosef Karo is as follows: | |||
#The goal of the Beit Yosef is to indeed to decide which position to follow, but not with Talmudic proofs. The Chiddushim of the Rishonim are already erupting with the back and forth of Talmud Torah at levels that we are incapable of determining who is correct.
