Today’s Arukh HaShulchan Yomi is sponsored by the program’s founder and my partner, Rabbi Micha Berger, lekhavod R’ Yechiel Michel Epstein’s yahrzeit, in honor and thanks to me and the entire AhSY chevrah who are keeping his Torah alive. (See OC 568:13. RYME would have wanted us to observe his yahrzeit in Adar Rishon, i.e., today, 22 Adar I.*)

Is lev bet din matneh a nice way of saying it?s ?impractical? to apply the letter of the law in a particular situation (so chazal, HKBH?) must?ve had this situational caveat in mind? KT Joel Rich
