Reply To: Not Yotzei?

PAssfan: I deliberately danced around that issue. As it happens, the Steipler zt’l addressed the issue to sephardim as well. However, Rav Yehuda Tzadka zt’l wrote back to the Steipler and they argued vehemently about the issue as it applies to sephardim. I am not aware that the Steipler ever backed down. Maybe someone knows a confirmed resolution of this debate between a gadol of the Ashkenazic world vs. a gadol of the Sephardic world, rather than just throwing around what one or another anonymous commenter considers to be a “reasonable psak.”
