Rav Lazerson: Water meters on Shabbos/ Rav S.Z.Auerbach

This is a kuntres by Rav Simcha Bunim Lazerson regarding the recent and ongoing dispute between Rav Chaim Kaneifsky and Rav Mordechai Grossman  [click here] and others - regarding the problem of digital electric meters on Shabbos - as welll as clarifying the views of Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and the Chazon Ish. He concludes there is no problem! Rav Lazerson had a very close relationship with Rav Auerbach, is the editor of Shulchan Shlomo, and is the author of many halachic works.

  5. He doesn't address the claim by the many osrim that RSZ held that when a mechanism was created to generate a specific result, using it is called miskavein, even if you're not miskavein for that result. The examples given are the light in a refrigerator and the light in a phone booth that goes off when you leave. According to the teshuvos I saw, RSZ held in both cases that it is miskavein mamosh even if it's eino miskavein.
