Dear Rabbi Eidensohn,
There is a tragic situation I have been trying to do
something about for several years. Perhaps your recent
endeavors can help.
In
January 2014 I spoke to Rabbi N. Greenblatt of
Memphis, TN who confirmed the Halachos of Orech
Chaim, siman 366 require that if anyone is
prevented from access from the food component of
the community eruv, the eruv is
invalid. There are several people in Las Vegas
that the Young Israel does not allow on the
property, most notably a widow (http://cleanupyoungisrael.blogspot.com/)! It
appears that Rabbi Greenblatt's son Rabbi Yaakov
Greenblatt, who participated in construction of
the eruv, was not informed of the
situation in the area the eruv was to
encompass.
When I called Rabbi Greenblatt in Memphis
it was very clear he knows the Halacha of eruv that the Kollel failed to fulfill. He
said he was going to check into it. When I called him
back he said that he had been assured by the "Bnei
Torah of the Kollel" that everything is all right. He
didn't know about the widow, he didn't know what
happened to Rabbi Peltz (http://cleanupyoungisrael.blogspot.com/2012/01/leaders-of-young-israel-of-las-vegas.html)
and he has no idea how Rabbi Edgar Gross, z'tl was
threatened if he dare try to enter the shul (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByDyf3w55PRPdWNuaDdOcnhVbjQ/edit?usp=sharing).
Rabbi
Greenblatt simply put his trust with "the
Kollel", a kollel that disregarded a seruv on the
excommunicated leader of the shul, that
everything is all right so to him the eruv erected by his son is ok.
Any way you can help with this situation
would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
