Rabbi Openly Disregards Beis Din
The Greater Crown Heights Eruv is up. It is under the auspices of Congregation Kol Israel and their Rav, Rabbi Elkanah Schwartz, the guardians of the Prospect Heights and Brower Park Eruvim. UPDATE • Full Story
As we have previously reported the Rebbe’s secretary, Rabbi Leibel Groner, says the Rebbe already made his opinion clear on the matter.
In addition, the Rabbanim of Crown Heights published a sharp letter on their stance and the halachic ruling on the matter.
Never the less some people decided to go ahead with their plans, as published on Chevra Ahavas Yisroel’s facebook page, and on Congregation Kol Israel’s website:
The Greater Crown Heights Eruv is up. It is under the auspices of Congregation Kol Israel and their Rav, Rabbi Elkanah Schwartz, the guardians of the Prospect Heights and Brower Park Eruvim.
Update: Rabbi Elkanah Schwartz released a handwritten letter saying “I am not certifying or endorsing the Eruv in Crown Heights.”
