[Avodah] goy vs chiloni

[Eli Turkel]

<<By the way, (a) I disagree that by operating an electric door, the
building becomes changed, according to Chazon Ish. Only the circuit
changed, and even the circuit, was broken before and after the door's
opening; it was only open (changed) while the door was in the process
of opening. Hence, I find it very unconvincing to claim that the
building should become assur on account of the door's opening.>>

In fact one of RSZA's questions against CI is that according to CI every
opening and closing a door should be boneh of completing a circuit.
Obviously CI must differentiate between the cases. In particular CI stressed
that closing an electric circuit made it "alive" in contadistinction to
opening and closing doors
