Yisroel Alter Pacanowski asks:

R Elozor br Yosi says I have proved the Kusi shita as false. They agree Elone More is Shchem. We learn it from a Gezeira Shova from Avrohom Ovinu. But they dont believe In Torah Shebaal Peh and Gezeira Shovos. So how do they know? Lichoro, the posuk by Avrohom Ovinu says clearly : Ad mekom Shchem ad Elonei Moreh. So it is telling us that they are together. When it says here Elonie Moreh, even without a gezeira shovo, we know it is Shchem. The Torah Shebiksav has defined them as one. What is the kashe on the Kusim?

Yisroel Alter Pacanowski, Australia

The Kollel replies:

Dear Yisroel,

Elonei Moreh of Avraham is Shechem.

But Elonei Moreh by Har Grizim and Eival might be a second, different place with the same name- Elonei Moreh. Only the Gezeira Shava forces that it is the same place.

All the best,
