notpashut – it was clear. My sister was not allowed to invite anyone who held by the eruv even if they agreed not to carry. The only possible thought I could have is that he didnt trust that others wouldnt actually carry.
While I understand your analogy, there are SOME people who would probably argue that Dinkins was a great mayor (for whatever reason they have). You would vehemently disagree but should respect their right to the opinion. I recognize the psak for the eruv is very controversial (and most say its not acceptable), but it should be respected that there are some orthodox rabbis who say its ok.
