[Avodah] Chazon Ish and electricity

[Shlomo Pick]

before further discussion should be done on the chazon ish's position on electricity, one should see the Kovetz Ma'amarim beInyanei Chashmal BeShabbat by RSZA (jerusalem, 5738), the Meeluim section entitle Berurim beInyan Melekhet Boneh veSoter beSegeerat uPetichat Ma'agal Chashmali beShabbat, which includes letters from the CI to RSZA on this topic and the latter's discussion of them. in the next section entitled BeInyan madlik veMechabeh menorat chashmal beshabat, see there p.  85, fn. 3 describing RSZA's personal encounter with CI and the discussion between them.
the latter has been republished and is found in Minchat Shlomo, Vol I, siman 12, in a footnote at the begenning of section 2.
the former has been republsihed and is found in Minchat Shlomo, Vol I, siman 11.
any meaningful discussion would entail reading these reports from the CI himself and perhaps even RSZA's analysis.
i would also point out that the CI's family, e.g. nephew, R. Meir Greiniman (in his Imrei Yashar) have published their discussions of the CI's view and are representative of the family's messorah of what the CI held.
