Gavra: And where do you gather I’ve been a “machmir” on this issue? Au contraire, I’ve been taking the “meikel” position (like the Shulchan Aruch) in looking favorably at permitting yibum rather that assuring it.
And surely, gavra, you are not c”v pitting the Mechaber (and the Sefardish Rabbonim like Rav Ovadia Yosef shlit”a) “vs. Chazal” when they pasken in favor of yibum b’zman hazeh. There is no basis to such an accusation.
