Measurements for Halakhic Quantities
Question
What are the measurements of an egg-bulk and a revi'it?
In present-day terms?
And also, in the halakhic definition, does the Rabbi accept the measurements of the Chazon Ish [Noda B'Yehuda]? Or the common custom [R. Chaim Naeh]? Or Maimonides' dirham-based method?
I would be very grateful.
Answer
I haven’t gone into this topic. The standard practice is to follow R. Chaim Naeh.
