Do we CARE how Rav Wosner Vosner spells his name?!?! Gevald! Its a transliteration of yiddish or hebrew anyway. Dont you have anything better to be upset at?? You must be really really bored!

That is well appreciated hendoner. However in E”Y he and his son are known as Rav Vosner as W is not pronounceable in Hebrew and I believe also not in European languages, which then name comes from.

Hendoner, I don’t know about London, but in our circles he’s called Rav Vozner, with a V.
Besides, another piece of advice: don’t take it too much to heart when someone misspells a name; it can raise your blood pressure which in turn can lead to many different bad things…

#2 – will you please accord the Rav Shlita the due Kovod that he deserves by spelling his name correctly. It is Wosner not Vozner. I should know, I am a near korov.

gabs911 its not as rare as you think.you should just know that these two rabonim have always respected each other highly, and speak on the phone more often than they meet in person. rav ovadia always sends a copy of his newest sefer to rav vozner and rav vosner quotes rav ovadia in his sefer many times (sheivet haleivi)
