I was invited by my friend Rabbi Kivelevitz shlita to speak on his podcast today.
Tshuvos and Poskim-Rav Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer-The Burden of Expertise-A Rav's quandaries faced with an Eruv riddled with Halachic problems
America's Expert in Metropolitan Eruvin uncomplicates matters and presents!
In recognition of the Daf Yomi's current learning of the challenging Mesechta -Eruvin
The Issur Ben Tzvi Hirsch Tshuvos and Poskim Shiur presented a special ZOOM lecture from the world renowned author and educator
Harav Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer Shlita
Mechaber of the acclaimed trailblazing work
The Shiur cogently explained common Halachic problems with Eruvin in our American cities and provided a unique perspective of the options available for a knowledgeable Rav who discovers the issues and has to navigate a Halachic and social minefield in his responsibility to his community.
Referencing various Talmudic passages,statements of Rav Shlomo Luria,The Chazon Ish and Psakim of Rav Herschel Shachter,this episode is a fascinating entry into the struggle to live authentically according to the dictates of Shulchan Oruch in a messy world.
