Regarding the Chazon Ish’s Objection
Question
Hello Rabbi, and may you be sealed for good!
Rabbi Chaim explains that according to Maimonides there is a difference between the sprinklings on the curtain and those on the golden altar, even though both are done in the Sanctuary, and he explains that there are two distinct sanctities of the Sanctuary. The Chazon Ish objects to this on the grounds that it is impossible that the Talmud would not have mentioned such a fundamental distinction. Does the Rabbi know of a way to understand the source of Rabbi Chaim’s position? Thank you very much!
Answer
No
There are a few books that reconcile the Chazon Ish’s objections to Rabbi Chaim. Maybe it would be worth your looking there.
