You're words have a distinct "maskil" flavor- which I will be Dan LeKaf Zchus is Am Aratzes. Feel free to not post this comment, as it is not meant to shame you- but simply to warn you to be more careful with the way you address Gedolei Rishonim and Achronim. One can argue with Chidushei Torah of the Doros Achronim, but it must be done in a humble and respectful spirit. I hope in the future you will be able to be more sensitive on this crucial point.What?!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-71846647546679156572010-05-18T17:04:56.692-04:002010-05-18T17:04:56.692-04:00indeed.indeed.joshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-14389772812757281722010-05-18T17:03:33.449-04:002010-05-18T17:03:33.449-04:00Hashem Yeracheim.Hashem Yeracheim.IlaN-achhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380544914245483123noreply@blogger.com
