 and didn't say in the morning תפילות.

 He answered, "Because I am the Rav and it's Shabbos."

WHAT IS GOING ON ??

They asked the Rav, How come he skipped the פרק אזהו מקומן  and didn't say in the morning תפילות.  He answered, "Because I am the Rav and it's Shabbos." The מנחת חינוך said, "Instead of saying איזהו מקומן he should learn הלכה" (Shabbos morning) Harav Avraham Chaim Reinman zt"l (Rav of Kretchinev) writes in his Sefer (ויצא פרח) that when his father received  סמיכה from the מהרש"ם, the מהרש"ם warned him that since he is a בנן של קדושים  he will be tempted to learn Zohar & Kabbalah or Pilpul in Shas.  For a מורה הוראה (Posek) to do so is wrong  and he will be punished if he does it. A Posek's responsibility to the ציבור is to constantly learn  and review the Shulchan Aruch & its Meforshim without  any interruption. The מהרש"ם continued that when he got סמיכה from the מנחת חינוך, the מנחת חינוך told him the same not to learn anything but Halacha and since on Shabbos* when saying in the morning the Perek of אזהו מקומן it is considered only as learning משניות, therefore he should learn  Halacha instead.  *During the week when saying the Halachos of קרבנות it is considered as if you were מקריב קרבנות. On Shabbos, these קרבנות were not being מקריב.
