  1. Many poiskim in this country are not aware of the cold facts, hence misguided guidance in the Halacha being dispensed to the tzibur.

  2. There is a certain irony in quoting the Aruch Hashulchan l'chumrah and not acknowledging his various defenses for those who are not quite so midakdek about tolaim. See Y'D 100:13-17

  3. Make that Aruch Hashulchan Y"D 100:13-18

  4. Do you and all the Rabonim go with the Aruch Hashulchan with "all" of your other Isurai "di'oirasahs"?

  5. I come from a time when we all relied on the Aruch Hashulchan-just like R. Moshe and R. Henkin did. Besides, R. Vaye brought up the Aruch Hashulchan-not me.

  8. The letter was included in a little green colored kuntress that was put out by Gissinger way back when he was trying to get Bodek off the ground. He's lucky that I can not locate the copy I have / had because it's in gantzen min hahapuch from what he is doing today at Chof K where he figured out that he can make much more money in food service by not checking for bugs whatsoever than he did as a machmir on bugs with Bodek.
