rabbiofberlin – I’m not debating whether one should accept the opinion of the Chazon Ish or not, as should have been obvious from the language of my post. All I am saying is that my rav (Rav Yitzchak Abadi) told me firsthand that the Chazon Ish told him firsthand that shaking hands is yehareg v’al ya’avor. You can be skeptical, but for me that is a reliable source. Again, I am not saying anyone is bound to the Chazon Ish’s opinion. I am merely commenting on your implication that he never said it.
