    The new one (Kislev 5772) has the response of Dr. Benjamin Brown to the critique by R. Yehoshua Heshil Heler on Dr. Brown’s groundbraking “The Chazon Ish”. http://www.shaalvim.co.il/torah/maayan-article.asp?id=594

    Rav Eitam Henkin’s response to Rav Lichtenstein’s critique of the ‘Michtav Harabbanim’ regarding the selling of property in EY to nachriim was very interesting. I wonder what a plausible response would be.
