<div dir="ltr">From the article of R. Jachter<br><br><<Dayan Weisz and Rav Ovadia Yosef (Rav Shlomo Zalman also concedes this
point) do not share Rav Eliashiv?s aforementioned concern that
pasteurized wine has become common practice. They believe that even
though ?cooking? wine today is commonplace, it is irrelevant. When
Chazal established these Halachot, they reason, cooking wine was
uncommon, and we are not authorized to enact new rules (see Rosh,
Shabbat 2:15 and Teshuvot Yechave Daat 2:49) or alter Chazal?s edicts.>>.<br><br>We had a similar discussion concening the bugs in Salmon. It seems that some poskim are willing<br>to assume that changing circumstances changes the halacha but only lechumra.<br>
So if chazal prohibted something but the reason no longer applies it is still assur.<br>However, if they allowed something and the reason no longer applies then it is also prohibited/<br>BTW a similar argument occurs if a mother is considered a nursing mother for 24 months<br>
even though most women today have stopped way before that.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Eli Turkel<br>
