|Chazon Ish<ref>Steipler in Shiurin Shel Torah (second edition, 5750, pp. 65-6; first edition, 5716, pp. 86-7) quotes the Chazon Ish that a [[Kezayit]] is 2/3 of a modern egg and an egg today measures between 45-50 grams. At most, the kezayit would be 33.3 grams. Vezot HaBracha (Birur Halacha 1:3) records this opinion of the Chazon Ish as 33.3cc for a [[Kezayit]]. The Chazon Ish's opinion of [[Kezayit]] is partially based on the opinion of the Tzlach who doubles today's eggs to figure out a kebaytzeh ([https://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14336&st=&pgnum=118 Chazon Ish OC 39:6]). However, the Chazon Ish also holds that the kezayit is only 1/3 of a kebeytzeh like the Rambam ([ | |Chazon Ish<ref>Steipler in Shiurin Shel Torah (second edition, 5750, pp. 65-6; first edition, 5716, pp. 86-7) quotes the Chazon Ish that a [[Kezayit]] is 2/3 of a modern egg and an egg today measures between 45-50 grams.

Dirshu Chadasha 167:7, M.B. 34, note 22 cites various places where M.B. gives conflicting amounts of time. In some places, M.B. writes the time is 3 words of "Shalom Alecha Rebbi," and in other places M.B. writes the time is 4 words of "Shalom Alecha Rebbi U'Mori." Dirshu concludes the main halacha is the three words time as per most achronim and the implication from M.B.</ref> which is about 2 seconds. | |||
