>>my rebbe, R. Shlomo Drillman z”l was steadfast in his opposition to it.
what were your rebbe’s objections?
_______________________________________________________________________________________
He objected to the Flatbush vaad’s disregarding R. Moshe’s psak. It seems the Vaad Harabanim of Flatbush had agreed to let R. Moshe make the call. When his p’sak came down, the vaad ignored it and built the eruv anyway. R. Drillman told me he personally had his questions about the psak, and could clearly see a valid psak in favor of the eruv. (Parenthetically, he felt that many of R. Moshe’s psakim about eruvin did not make sense, and he (R. Drillman) was hardpressed to see the mekorot as R. Moshe did.) But once it was decided to be bound by a psak, you have to be bound by it.
