HaRav Edelstein writing a letter
To the notable one who assists in providing merit to the public through Shabbos observance
HaGaon R' Eliyohu Beifus shlita
Of late, there has been increased usage of various security detectors and Smart Home systems. Precisely, here, many are the problems arising regarding Shabbos observance and the risk of Shabbos desecration.
Alongside all of these issues and questions, our generations has been able to provide many ways and means of circumventing the problems. The Rav has been very successful in solving the difficulties of the various electronic devices and adapting them to permissible usage on Shabbos without any problems.
We come here, therefore, to strengthen your hands to do all you can in finding the best possible solutions to enable usage of these devises on Shabbos without the risk of chillul Shabbos.
Surely, the merit of Shabbos which is the very source of all blessing shall stand by for all those who do and help in the proper observance thereof to be protected and greatly blessed with success.
Signed:
HaRav Chaim Kanievsky, HaRav Gershon Edelstein and HaRav Shalom Cohen.
