DaMoshe:
Your post may be venturing towards kefirah, so you might wish to be careful in what you write.
I did not insult Rabbi JB Soloveichik. I merely repeated what gedolim held of him and/or his positions and that his own words are that he broke from his mesorah.
Regarding Chassidus, ad haYom, Agudah’s moetzes has both Chassidim and non-chassidim. Whereas Agudah’s founding premise was to fight Zionism and gedolim until this day have confirmed that opposition to Zionism has not changed other than in tactics. Clearly, the two (Chassidus and, lihavdil, Zionism) cannot be intelligently compared.
But if your LOR cannot help you answer this, then I guess you will learn the answer regarding the halachic validity of Chassidus and everything else, BE”H, when Eliyahu haNavi tells us all BB”A.
For such enlightened and intellectually well-rounded people, some of you “MO” are way too easily insulted.
