המחזיקים 'כלי משחית' אלו הם עוברים על דברי חכמים לכל הדיעות
Those that strengthen ‘destructive utensils’ transgress the words of the Chachamim according to all opinions
The truth of the matter is that until recently there was almost no one to be found who could be defined as one who violates the words of the Chachamim among the observant of the word of Hashem, since we are all careful with all fences and boundaries that holy Chazal decreed. We are also careful with all the prohibitions and decrees that the earlier and later Rabbis decreed, and even what the great ones of the later generations enacted into halacha, we accepted as Jews, and we are careful with them. True, there are some things that are taught as machlokes [disagreement], and some conduct themselves leniently, but they are not called transgressors, since ultimately there is someone for them to rely on.
However, recently such a reality did arise. Today, there are some ‘criminals’ who do not give credence to the words of Chachamim, and they are the ones holding onto the impure devices, for there is no Gadol in Israel who holds that it is permitted to hold onto these devices. Since it is not possible to be lenient with this as there is no Rav to rely on, this proves that they do not heed the view of Chachmei Yisrael at all, and they are literally categorized as ‘throwing off the yoke’, and it is regarding them Chazal said ‘one is liable to death’!
