Reply To: Hello99, DY, et al: Maskim?

DY – So I wanted to be mevarer if you were right and I tracked down the periodical that R’ Chaim Ozer is citing. Turns out there are lots of interesting things there. They do mention what you are referring to, though I still do not see any major indication that R’ Chaim Ozer’s reason for assering is because of anything other than molid eish.

I would gather that this (?) is the one he is referring to, and it’s the only one from New York:

The one just before that seems like he would agree with Rabbi Abadi.

Also there is this short article from the Aruch Hashulchan; I think it’s pretty famous:
