n0mesorah,
Most of the above is to prove that you are privy to information, and are familiar with the inayan. I don’t buy it. However, I will play along with your need to demonstrate your broad knowledge base.
“I am getting the sense that you want to only discuss the halachic permissibility of an eiruv in Brooklyn versus other American Cities. Now, this issue is not in a vacuum. The real world influence has been alluded to numerous times. I don’t know how you feel about it.”
I have no problem discussing any city. There is no reason why an eruv can’t be established everywhere.
“The Halachos of Eiruvin have three distinct fields of application.
1. The townspeople are supposed to build an eiruv.
2. The specifications to which the eiruv can be built.
3. Carrying in the eiruv.
The permissibility of an eiruv is the second field. Comparing cities is the first field. So, we keep missing each other’s points.”
I never saw this classification, and it does not exist.
1) Yes townspeople should demand an eruv, but the responsibility is on the rav.
2) This is for the rav to concluded. This point has changed dramatically, and not many other inyanim have followed suit.
3) There are Chasidim who maintained that one must carry in an eruv. I believe they were referring to today. Arguments opposing eruvin that would do away with all eruvin (even if they are inconsistent with the application of their arguments), should be called out as apikorsis. I do not thing I missed any of your points.
