Shlomo 2

BRILLIANT SEVARA

Full marks

That is the sevara of many of the matirim – -led by Maran the Tchebiner Rov

Thansk for the source – I had no idea where to look

Shlomo 2

Many many poskim forbid it – including the Minchas Yitzchok, The Grit Weiss, Rav Elyashiv, and Rav Chaim Kanievsky

yibodel lechiam tovim R’ Moshe Shtrenbuch, R’ Dovid Morgenstern, and R’ Yitzchok Berkowitz shlit”a

There are matirim, and there many who view it as a suitable chumra rather than ikar hadin

but generators are very very nafutz

The Chaon Ish also forbade water – which is pumped through an electric pump, but I think he is virtaully a da’as Yochid on that, and outside B’nei B’rak few are machmir.

The Israeli coalition agreements included a clause to ensure no one prevents generators – which could prevent chareidim from settling in new areas etc ….
