L’havdil but you find similar claims when it comes to the real greats; The Rabbonim.

People claim that Reb Elchonan Wasserman was learning disabled. It gives hope and a role model to all children who have extra difficulty learning. The well known story of the Netziv overhearing his parents discussing an apprenticeship for him, “Reb Chaim shlita doesn’t specifically have a great head rather great determination”, etc.

There are people that shunned The Making of a Gadol for this reason, chas v’shalom to show the normal side of our leaders. Our leaders were Malochim not people.

Then you have people who claim that we are depressing our children when we relay ‘Gedolim Maisas’. They claim that children feel overwhelmed by hearing about the Chazon Ish’s 36 hour sprints. They claim that it is just detrimental.

I claim and the Emmes is, Get Your Facts Straight. The Truth Prevails.

Zusha Zusha, why arent you Zusha?
