I was asked by some people to rebut these
additional shiurim by Rabbi Shraga Kallus, posted on his site
RavKallus.com, regarding the inyan of eruvin.
These shiurim are a distinct series [and were given at a different
venue] from the first set that I rebutted.
I reiterate: The entire thrust of
these shiurim is to sow doubt in people’s minds regarding
city eruvin. However, what is apparent is that while he may be
a marbitz Torah, he involves himself in issues that he knows little
about. It is discernable that he only really learnt the Mishnah Berurah (and Igros
Moshe), and, therefore, he fails to cite many Rishonim and Achronim.
The fact that he is currently sitting in
Yerushalayim and pontificating about Brooklyn eruvin demonstrates
a deep seated antipathy towards the establishment of these eruvin.
There is no doubt that the main reason he is so obstinate about this issue is
because he already made up his mind that Rav Moshe would be opposed at all
costs, so don’t confuse him with the facts.
I have been told that he is influencing
people with his shiurim; therefore, I took the initiative to rebut
them. I will only rebut those parts of his eruvin shiurim, 1-8,
that pertain to the issue of reshus harabbim. [However, I am sure
that if I took the time, I would find many incorrect statements in all of
his shiurim.] I must note, as well, that these shiurim are
full of anecdotes fabricated out of whole cloth and flippant remarks; hence, I
will not pull my punches. It is simply impossible (because of time constraints)
to get to all of his shtusim and bubbe meises, but I will try
my best.
