כהמשך לכתבה אצלנו מהימים האחרונים:

כיוצא בו הגונב את המכס ואת החרם הרי זה שופך דמים ולא שופך דמים בלבד אלא כאילו עובד עבודת כוכבים ומגלה עריות ומחלל שבתות.

(שמחות ב’ ח’)

We mentioned the question here in the past.

I now see Chiddushim Ubiurim by Rabbi Chaim Greineman (Peah, end of Siman Alef) asks the same question, and answers perhaps those asking were in a position to help out.

Since certain “halachos” contradict everything the larger sugya teaches, one needs cognitive dissonance.

Everything about Kinyanim screams “Gemirus Da’as”. So, if you “understand” how Mechiras Chametz isn’t “Devarim shebilibo uvelev kol adam”, you understand nothing about Choshen Mishpat.

Tznius is about modesty. So, if you “understand” how women’s wigs are fine, you understand nothing about any related halachos whatsoever.

The same goes for Eruv, Agunos, giving away Eretz Yisrael, etc. etc.

(See a somewhat similar point made here.)
