It’s quite interesting that this issue started in EY a year-and-a-half ago and has been through several Battei Din there, yet the Lakewood Rabbonim issued a harsher condemnation than either of the EY Battei Din had.
The Eida Chareidis and Bnei Brak Battei Din were in personal contact with the authors of this peirush. Neither of the Battei Din disparaged the authors of this peirush personally. And neither of them said the harsh things that the Lakewood Rabbonim’s condemnation said.
The Eida Chareidis Beis Din said that their shaliach had reviewed the entire set of all five volumes and determined that peirush was “Kulo Kodesh.” They therefore ruled no changes were necessary and it could be used as is.
Incidentally, this publishing team’s newest work, Chok l’Yisroel, was just published and has current haskomos from this Beis Din.
The Bnei Brak Beis Din of Rav Sariel Rosenberg said that a revised edition should be printed, as replacement for the current one, and that the publisher could continue to sell the remaining copies of the present edition. They did not disparage the authors personally and said that the sefer needed to be “fixed.”
The Lakewood Rabbonim, however, were far stronger in their condemnation and even said — unlike the EY Battei Din that had fully investigated the matter, gone through all five volumes, and spoken to the authors — that no “tikkun” was possible.
I was wondering if any of the oylam here had spoken to any of the Lakewood Rabbonim and asked them what led them to sign a letter that was far more harsh and far-reaching than the EY Battei Din. Did they have information that was unknown to the EY Battei Din? If so, have they shared this information with the EY Battei Din?
