    Well, I disagree with you that not being in the Igros is immaterial.

    Rav Dovid shlit”a, I believe, says this in the name of his father. (I’m not 100% sure what he does say).

    DY- Everything makes sense. Pesach is this evening. That is not true by chalav stam as I wrote in my above post.

    ?”? means when things seem to contradict or more information is needed to finish the puzzle. In this case, we have reason to doubt the teshuva, bec. it is not in the Igros and how does it fit with “baal nefesh machmir”. Also, I don’t know if this is the way Rav Dovid shlit”a says his father’s opinion is. It could be. But it may not be.

    When Rav Moshe tz”l puts it in the Igros, it is considerd paskening for the whole world. It doesn’t really matter what percentage. Finding a teshuva outside the Igros is not always so relevant. There is a mystery here. I am not saying Vdai that the teshuva is not important, I am concluding ?”?.

    The teshuva to R’ Weinfeld proves that this is the case. The fact that it wasn’t printed in Igros is entirely irrelevant.

    No. It was written in 1956. That could easily make it into the Igros. There is something a little bit strange about why it is not in the Igros. I’m not saying it is completely immaterial, but there is a pretty good question about why it is not in the Igros.

    That just proves a baal nefesh should be machmir. That a mosdod hachinuch should be machmir. And he was encouraging people to keep chalav stam when he personally wrote he is machmir. Where is your proof that if it costs a little more one should be machmir?

    Mods-Hilarious!

    DY-For the purposes of this discussion, meikar hadin means not bshas hadchak.

    Where in the Igros Moshe does Rav Moshe tz”l say only bshas hadchak? YD 4:5 is a specific case. That is how Rabbi Daniel Eidensohn reads the teshuva. (See the Yad Moshe) So now you are left with a teshuva outside the Igros. That teshuva does not say “bshas hadchak” just “not proper” and one “needs” to get chalav stam. Now, I am not 100% clear on what Rav Dovid shlit”a says his father’s opinion is. But he clearly does not say “bshas hadchak”.

    There is more to it, but here is the basics:

    Chalav Stam Bshas Hadchak Proofs:

    1)YD 4:5

    2)Teshuva to Rabbi Weinfeld

    Chalav Stam Meikear Hadin Proofs:

    1)Rav Dovid Feinsein shlit”a (on the Matzav website (search “Matzav Rav Dovid Feinsein chalav yisroel”) it does say one should get chalav yisroel if it easy to get, but the terminology “bshas hadchak” is not there; it is more compatible with Rabbi Weinfeld’s teshuva)

    Chalav Stam Meikar Hadin Rebuttals:

    1a)YD 4:5 is specific case in specific circumstance

    2a)Teshuva to Rabbi Weinfeld is not in the Igros

    DaasYochid- Do you agree that bdieved you can still use your sink if it is not ben yomo and you didn’t kasher it? (If it was cleaned) (Obviously, don’t rely on this lechatchilla)

    But, bdieved if one didn’t kasher his sink, it would probably bdeived be good enough to througly clean it and have it not ben yomo so the taam because pagum.

    More research is needed on the chalav stam bshas hadchak issue.

    Dash-Your right. But I think this one Rav Dovid shlit”a says in the name of his father.

    Don’t rely on me when I say that Rav Dovid shlit”a holds chalav stam is mutar mikar hadin. Contact him directly (or a close talmid).

    And as always contact your own Rav (From me, not mods)

    And an important blow to the chalav stam bshas hadchak opinion is that, I believe, Rav Dovid Feinstein shlit”a holds in the name of his father that chalav stam is mutar meikar hadin.

    Another proof is the teshuva from Rabbi Forst shlit”a printed in the back of Hilchos Kashrut (I believe, can someone confirm) that is from Rav Moshe tz”l to Rabbi Weinfeld in Monsey saying that it is not proper to be meikel if one can get chalav yisrael with just a little extra cost and bother. But that teshuva was written in ???? and yet it is not in the Igros. Why not?

    There is possible proof that chalav stam is mutar not only bshas hadchak.

    Right. One of the main teshuvas that is used as proof that chalav stam is mutar only bshas hadchak (dire circumstances) is YD 4:5 but that teshuva seems to be talking of a specific case in a specific circumstance, a community (Toronto) was thinking of switching to chalav stam after keeping chalav yisrael and Rav Moshe tz”l wrote that you shouldn’t do it unless it is bshas hadchak. How does that compare to other cities that were keeping chalav stam before Rav Moshe tz”l gave his heter.

    Moderators- Can we have a deal? Erase the post or explain why it is not loshon hara.

    DY- Please can you get me details to the story, if possible?

    zahavasdad-Your way of possibly explaining the story doesn’t make logical sense.

    Rav Moshe tz”l would have to consume spoiled milk and then throw up.

    Then, to not make the bochur not feel bad, he will have to say it is chalav stam? How does he know it is chalav stam? If he says it is chalav stam, and it really isn’t, then how is that supposed to cover up? To make it make sense you would have to say, it is spoiled and chalav stam. If it was really chalav yisroel, the bochur would know and still want to know why he threw up. Unless you’re saying the bochur got the hint and kept it quiet that it was really chalav yisroel.

    According to you there may be some revisionism, acc. to others there may not be. It is subjective.

    I did not see this story (throwing up) in the artscroll biography of Rav Moshe tz”l.

    Someone could have given him spoiled milk and Rav Moshe did not want to embarasses the person for doing so , so said it was Chalav Stam as they would not be as bad as giving him spoiled milk.

    But how would Rav Moshe tz”l know that it was chalav stam without asking the person?

    As you surely know, if a person has a choice of two streets, and he knows that one of those has pritzus and he chooses to go that way EVEN IF he goes with the full intention of not looking AND DOES NOT LOOK then he is called a RASHA!

    Your comparison is flawed, in my opinion. Compare it to actually going to the party and not getting involved in it, not having a choice of going to the party.
