n0mesorah,
“It’s funny that I overheard Reb Dovid talking about it and still don’t know about it. And it’s also funny that nobody managed get a straight answer from him.”
If you read what Rav Dovid said, you will realize that he was not referring to current eruvin. He is in fact referring to his father’s position on the 1979 eruv and not his father zt”l’s theoretical position on the current eruv. That is probably the reason he would not give a straight answer.
“The OP want’s to use the eruv with the approval of the YV. We are still following Rav Moshe’s opinion as the RY of the just departed generation maintained they heard directly from him. Rav Dovid, Rav Shmuel Birnbaum, Rav Belsky, and others. What other Poskim feel comfortable with isn’t going to help change the status quo. The Brooklyn eruv has too much grief on it to become accepted by the YV.”
I don’t know what Rav Birnbaum maintained. He never wrote about it. Rav Belsky’s teshuvah demonstrates that he did not follow Rav Moshe’s shitos in eruvin. The YV should stay home on Shabbos. They are not the benchmark of halachic matters.
“You may have a bunch to say why it should not be that way. But the historical fact is that this is how it played out. Rav Moshe did not endorse any eruv in Brooklyn at any point. And as of today there is still no consensus to move away from that position.”
By those who actually learnt Rav Moshe’s teshuvos there is a consensus.
“So you do realize, that while you may permit him to carry in Brooklyn, your not helping the OP.
If we agree on that, then we can move on.”
I don’t care what some say, only what those who learnt the inyan have to say on the matter. As usual, you did not answer any of my pointed rebuttals, which is illuminating. Learn the inyan prior to pontificating.
