Reply To: Techeiles 🔵❎🐌☑️🐟

1)I do not agree that there is no excuse to not wear techeiles. I was merely demonstrating that sbeph’s pshat cannot be correct, because it is against the shulchan aruch/mishna berura, in which case we would not pasken like Reb Chaim, in which case we would not be able to rely on reb chaim to not wear techeiles. However, since respectable poskim bring down this reb chaim as a reason to not where techeiles, it would seem that it is reliable. I was merely using this as a hechrech to say a pshat in which reb chaim fits in with the SA/MB. However afterwards I saw that Rav Shlomo Miller writes that there are rayos against it from ??? ?????? but it is still b’etzem a svara yeshara and you can’t just knock it off easily. I don’t know what to make of that because it does seem very clear from all the afformentioned halachic literature that we don’t pasken like that.

2)My point with the sfek sfeika was that if you take a safek esrog you wouldn’t remain in the same state of chiyuv i.e. you would not have to take a second safek esrog because it would be a sfek sfaika. But you would have to take a vadai esrog so maybe reb chaim considers that as still being in a state of chiyuv. But Lemaaseh I may have to retract the whole sfek sfaika thing anyway because I saw that the radzyner writes that (according to the teshuvos mutzal me’aish, I don’t know if anyone argues) by a mitzvas asei we even say sfek sfaika l’chumra.

3) As to whether or not the murex trunculus is a safek, that would be taluy on the previous four pages of rayas that were mentioned both ways.

4)Can you please explain what tenai you would make.
