HaRav Eliashiv on Unapproved Shavers: "Every Effort Should
Be Made to Publicize the Severity of the Matter"
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
Members of the special beis din on halachic shavers
held meetings at the homes of gedolei Yisroel,
including Maran HaRav Eliashiv shlita, where they
expressed their dismay that some men still use forbidden
shavers which gedolei haposkim hold are a
transgression of Torah law, despite the fact two kosher
shavers are currently sold on the market.
"Every effort should be made to publicize the severity of the
matter as widely as possible until the message gains
acceptance," HaRav Eliashiv told the beis din members,
saying he was surprised at those who do not unequivocally
convey their stance on shavers to their talmidim. "If
there are kosher shavers that have been approved by the
special beis din, why are people still using forbidden
shavers and transgressing issurim deOraisa?"
One of the meetings was also attended by Mr. Yossi Miller,
CEO of Epilady, which was the first company that endeavored
to manufacture a kosher shaver called Mega, investing heavily
in the special project, and even complied with a request by
the beis din to sell it at an affordable, standardized
price. Miller received warm blessings from Maran
shlita.
