Guys, what’s this chip on your shoulders? I didn’t see any reference in the OP (or in any subsequent comment) of Chasidim being better — just an interesting tidbit that the greatest Litvish Godol in America was actually a descendant of Chasidim. If anything it seemed to be an attempt to “legitimize” Chasidim.
Maybe TLIK’s comment can be misconstrued as such, but I understood it to emphasize the danger of the old Misnagdus vs. Chasidus machlokes not the superiority of Chasidim per se. Instead some here are trying to revive that long dead fight…
Are my comprehension skills failing me?
