Reply To: No mention of the huge techailes event in Boro Park on Chol Hamoed?!

apashatayid,

I am pleased that you have a rav and that you follow him. That’s wonderful and please keep it up. But do not make arguments about this subject, because you don’t know it. There are actually no legitimate halachic reasons not to wear this techailes. Unfortunately, most people who comment on this, including rabbonim, have not studied it and simply make an assumption , maybe based on the status quo or whatever, that we may ignore this halachic issue. So they don’t bother to research it, and simply make bold statements against the techiles which are false and can easily be disproved in an honest dialogue, as I have seen countless times in this subject.

And please don’t argue about whether or not there was a huge event in Boro Park, because there was, and you argue without knowing, as you do about the very subject itself.

I would suggest you stay out of the argument because you don’t now the subject. If your reason not to wear techailes is truly because you are following your rav, than why do you need to argue? just follow him.
