Eliyahu Fink posed a question "Is Arizona wheat a "חומרה או מנהג טעותa perfectly legitimate question" ?
Well my dear friends here is the problem. Eliyahu Fink is not seeking
an answer to a perfectly legitimate question "is arizona wheat a
"חומרה או מנהג טעות!
How do I know that ? Well Eli Fink has admitted that, in spite of the
fact that there is evidence for a longstanding tradition that supports
the Satmar Chumra, his pre-existing assumptions are driving him to
conclude that this is a case of one-upsmanship.
Eli Fink makes it look as if he learned something but in fact he
missed a halacha in “Shulchan-Aruch” regarding rainwater on wheat
that reached maturity.
או"ח תס"ז ס"ה.
שו"ע (או"ח תסז, ה) - דגן שבמחובר שנתייבש לגמרי ואינו צריך ליניקה, כמאןדמנח בכדא דמי ומקבל חימוץ אם ירדו עליו גשמים
לשיטת הרשב"א החטים הנקצרים ממקומות שפתו עליהם גשמים כשאינם צריכיםלקרקע - כאן דמנח בכדא. - חמץ
“Shmurah M’shaas Ketzira” according to simple “Shulchan-Aruch” 467.5
means that as soon as the wheat is finished growing even before
harvesting should not get in contact with rain water.
My doctor says: fever is a sign of infection.
Our Torah states: sprouting in wheat is a sign of chumetz, due to the
water that saturated the grain after maturity.
