But, for those who question the validity of it, Shturem.net brings HaRav Henkin's Haskomoh on Mikvaos with a Bor a"g Bor
The Bilbul haMeychen in this subject and the lies spread about supposed Tshuves from Poskim is mindboggling. No amount of Kuntreysim and Seforim published to counter that lie will be totally successful in dispersing the lie, but we do what we can.
In its entirety:
what sforim?
ReplyDeleteQuiz:i wonder if any one of the readers here can answer the following??? when was the first mikvah with a bor al gabei bor built ? why was it built different then before? was it built by chasidim and approved by misnagdim? or vise versa?

ReplyDeletethere was Tohoras Mayim by HaRav Telushkin where there's a large part attributed to it.
The Kolel In Montreal, guided by HaRav Hirshprung
HaRav Landa in Bnei Brak and his Kolel published much material as well.

ReplyDeletewhy don't you choose a name and start the information flowing?
hirshel,i meant sforim against.
ReplyDeleteSeforim against I'm not aware of, but that's no proof, but the widely-held erroneous belief is that Poskim like the Divrei Chaim Passeled them.
ReplyDeleteIn the sefer Taharas Mayim (by the Helmetzer Rav - if I remember correctly) there's a lot of material against.
ReplyDeleteThe letter by Rabbi Henkin, in my opinion, doesn't say much.
It should have been titled: R' M. Feinstein says it's Kosher.
We all know the Lubavitcher view on this issue.
Then again, Perhaps this itself is a nice point - that Rabbi Henkin bases his P'sak, in part, on the Lub. Rebbe.
Correction:
ReplyDeleteI meant Taharas Yom Tov.

ReplyDeletewith all due respect to the Helmetzer, I do think we need an earlier Posek to prove that it wouldn't be OK. The Rebbe Rashab and the Rebbe have no problem "zich farmesten" with the HR.
Was not the first Mikveh of this kind built by the rebbe the Rashab in Rostov prior to his petira ?In Lubavitch ther ewas no need fof this sort of Mikveh .I think Rav yankev landau kashered it.
ReplyDeleteBut I want some of the chasidim out there to tell me if I am cotrrect. I may be mistaken.
