Mechaber- Reshut Harabim
Question
This is what I wrote originally: DEAR CYA, I have read your post concerning the view of the Mechaber and reshut harabim bizman haze. In light of this explanation how would you explain the words of the Shulkhan Arukh (Orach Hayim 325,2) considering that his source is the Hagahot Maimonit as pointed out by the Bet Yosef himself, which states clearly there that 60 rebo is a prerequisite for reshut harabim? Regards Chaim
Answer
Answered by Chaim Yisrael AbadiI have no idea what you are referring to. However, please check out Siman 345 #7. Maybe that will clear up some of your confusion. CYA I apologize but i am not confused. I wrote in a short way assuming you were aware of this halacha in S A. Allow me to take one step back: You hold that the mechaber holds that there is reshut harabim deoraita. The mechaber states however (Oh 325) that when there is a gentile that is violent , it is permited to send a goy on shabbat to give him food. The source of this halakha, as pointed out by the Bet Yosef" is a Hagahot maimoni and if you took the time to look up the bet yosef (who is the same author as the shulkhan aroukh as you know...) the reason for that is that it is a shvut deshvut bimkom tzorech, the first shvut would be to tell a goy, the second one would be that there is no reshut harabim deoraita. This said , how do you reconcile this view with your understanding of the shulkhAN ARUKH THAT THERE is reshut harabim deoraita bizman haze. Chaim p.s dont underestimate your readers assuming they are confused. You wrote that before even looking up this shulhan aroukh i quoted . Oh 345 belashon stam is the halakha according to you, i want to suggest there could be a different approach in the understanding of the mechaber.
