n0mesorah,
“To make the 16 supporters of the Manhattan Eiruv into rov against the 5, they would have to be disagreeing on one specific reason (besides for other factors). Rov poskim is still a din of rov.”
Oh, but they are disagreeing regarding a particular issue. That is they believe that there is no issue of reshu harabbim, hence an eruv can be established.
“I’m not really interested in debating what rov poskim is or isn’t. There have been hundreds of dissertations on this topic. And I don’t know why you mentioned the Manhattan Eiruv from sixty years ago. It’s not up anymore.”
This why I mentioned it. As you will see you introduce the word rov.
“”n0mesorah,
As I have posted above, other rabbonim are entitled to their opinion and may disagree with Rav Moshe’s psak. Yet even the mattirim didn’t think that applied to a rav that didn’t even kn ow mishnayos eruvin. Even if he had photographic memory of the teshuvos.””
“RMMK knew more than just teshuvos, stop this silliness. In fact he was supported by most rabbanim in Manhattan. You simply do not know what you are talking about.”
“”Chas v’shalom that any Rav would not want to associate with RMMK! Where did you get that from?””
“As Rav Tuvia used to say, there were more rabbanim who supported an eruv in Manhattan then not.”
