Reply To: New Brooklyn Eruv: Time to Accept?

n0mesorah’
“Rav Moshe was a Rav in Russia and a Rosh Yeshiva in Manhattan. You can take all your useless halacha and throw into the any of the bodies of water in between. None of this works that way. There was a Vaad for Eruvin that met constantly. And Rav Moshe kept repeating that Brooklyn can’t have an Eruv.”
Of course you are going to make statements such as, “You can take all your useless halacha and throw into the any of the bodies of water in between.” You are after all an eino modeh beruv, and Chazal had choice words for such people. People making arguments such as yours are really not part of our mesorah. Regarding your claim that there was a Vaad for Eruvin that met constantly for Brooklyn, you can’t back it up, because its fiction. By the way, eruvin is no different than any other halachic issue. Every rav large or small has a right to express his opinion.
