Reply To: Rav Vosner Ztz"l

I saw a great pshat from R’ Vozner brought down in Dirshu: Why is it that at the seder we have an egg, hinting at aveilus, in remembrance for the korban chagiga, while we have a shankbone in remembrance of the korban peasch? Why don’t we have two eggs? Says R’ Vozner, there are shittos that hold we can indeed bring a pesach today, and according to those shittos we have nothing to mourn in regards to the korban pesach. But les man di’palig that today we cannot bring a chagiga.

I also heard a story that one friday night, while R’ Vozner was learning in Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, he accidentally moved something muktza. So as a tikkun, he took it upon himself to learn the entire Meschtas Shabbos that Shabbos. After a while, the lamps in the beis medrash went out, so R’ Vozner took his gemara outside to learn by the moonlight. As he was learning, R’ Meir Shapiro passed by and saw his talmud bent over, squinting to see the text. He then gave him two brachos: “Since you are bending over to be able to learn, you should never need a cane. And since you squinting to be able to learn, you should never need glasses.” And even though he lived till 101, R’ Vozner never needed a cane or glasses.

“Relating any facets of Rav Wosner by definition is a Hesped, & cannot be covered up by feigning loopholes.”

I don’t see why it should be any different than relating psakim and stories from the Chofetz Chaim.
